What is a Partner?

IECA has a partners program where we evaluate a certification program to see how it fits the mission and vision of our organization. After a thorough evaluation of a program, the benefits to both organizations and the opportunities that may exist, IECA may enter into a partnership where mutual benefits and responsibilities were spelled out.

Program Purposes

The public demands evidence of professional competence from persons whose activities affect the physical and economical well being of people throughout the world. Businesses and government agencies need to be able to determine the competency of persons who engage in these activities. EnviroCert International, Inc. helps to satisfy this need through its suite of certification programs. Individuals certified through these programs have demonstrated an established minimum level of ethical and technical competence through an application review process and an examination process. Ongoing professional development is required to maintain certification. Individuals interested in certification should check with the appropriate regulatory authorities to determine acceptance of these certifications. Note that certification is not a substitute for any required professional license.
