Chartered Practitioner: conversion route

This route to Chartered Status is for Registered Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs) and/or those who hold the Environmental Health Registration Board (EHRB) Certificate of Registration.

It is a one-year programme enabling EHPs to achieve chartered status through the completion of specific elements of the full programme.

For a more comprehensive explanation of what you will undertake on the conversion route, please refer to the guidance documents at the bottom of this section.

Eligibility criteria

Applicants must:

• Be a Registered Environmental Health Practitioner with CIEH or the Environmental Health Registration Board (degree or public health diploma registers)
• Be a member of CIEH at either the Member (MCIEH) or Fellowship (FCIEH) grade
• Be currently practicing in an environmental health setting
• Be able to provide a statement of employer support

Benefits

As with the current two-year Chartered Practitioner Programme, the conversion route is employer-led, enabling EHPs to apply their learning in the workplace.

The workplace project remains a key part of the conversion route and co-development of a workplace project ensures that this programme is meaningful for both practitioner and employer.

Cost

A one-off application fee of £509.

This includes application fees, on-programme monitoring and administration, supporting and guidance materials, assessment and ratification and certification of Chartered Status.
