Join CIEEM

As the leading professional membership body for ecologists and environmental managers in the UK, Ireland and abroad, our members work in a variety of roles across the sector. Our membership also varies greatly in terms of professional standing from Chief Executives and Directors of large organisations to students and apprentices who are studying and developing their skills before entering the sector professionally.

As a member of CIEEM, you will be required to maintain and develop your skills through Continuing Professional Development (CPD). You will also be bound by a strongly held Code of Professional Conduct, demonstrating your commitment to high professional standards.

We offer a range of membership grades from Student and Qualifying, for those just embarking on their careers, through to Chartership and Fellowship, for experts in their fields.

Take a look at our video below to find out more about our membership grades.
