Testimonials

NREP Certifications of CESM and CESCO have given me legitimacy in the workplace, especially with clients.  When the company conducts Risk Assessments on anything to do with the Environment, I am invited to the table due to my certifications and what I bring to the table is respected due to my post nominals.  In the HSE field, my NREP certs have given strength to the "E" in what is normally a weak and token added responsibility.  It has given me a well-rounded certification to compliment all 3 disciplines.  The NREP certifications have also added prestige to my resume and assisted greatly in securing new jobs.

It is with must confidence and enthusiasm I am writing to recommend, from personal experience, NREP certifications, specifically speaking to Certified Environmental Scientist (CES) and Registered Environmental Manager (REM). I have been a professional with the National Registry of Environmental Professionals (NREP) for about a decade and can attest to the high qualifications required by NREP to receive certifications that involve training, further education (to achieve and continued), and qualified testing.  These fulfillment requirements have broadened my spectrum and depth of knowledge in the environmental industry.  Achieving and being awarded these certifications have led to the advancement in my career, salary raises and have opened more opportunities for me both educationally and professionally.  I appreciate NREP for sustaining a level of achievement in an industry that is always under development and improving.

NREP credentials are recognized by environmental industry professionals across our country. Earning these credentials has certainly opened opportunities for me to advance to the next level in my career. Currently, I am working in a position managing environmental water regulatory programs with a high level of responsibility. Having these credentials validates your knowledge and experience, and it lets other professionals know you are qualified.

NREP certification has allowed me to progress from private sector work to larger, more complex federal projects since most federal entities such as the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) recognizes the NREP and especially the REM designation. The REM certification along with a PE license are recognized as valuable assets for managing large environmental remediation projects.

Today’s EHS professional is faced with many challenges from a growing number of stakeholders.  Customers, regulators, employees, shareholders all rely on a trusted and experienced professional to help navigate this complex industry.  In Fastenal’s case we have operations in 26 countries, with over 20,000 employees, 3,000 locations, and 7,000 vehicles that present unique risks and considerations. Having over 15,000 members worldwide, the NREP designation is one way to easily communicate to our stakeholders.  We’re able to effectively share that we have qualified and experienced professionals helping the organization meet changing industry demands - whether it’s ESG regulations, business needs, operational changes, or community impacts.  I would strongly consider any experienced or upcoming industry leader to look at obtaining certification through the National Registry of Environmental Professionals.’
