ENV SP TRAINING
ENV SP: A Globally Recognized Credential
The Envision™ Framework is becoming globally recognized as the premier sustainability certification program for infrastructure, including highways, transit projects, bridges, utilities, sewer systems – the list goes on. The framework is supported by the Envision™ Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) credential —an increasingly important credential for any professional involved in civil infrastructure. Since its inception, more than 15,000 professionals around the world have obtained their ENV SP credential, which has equipped them with the knowledge to apply the ground-breaking sustainability concepts to their daily work.
ENV SP Certification Process
ENV SP candidates are required to complete the official ENV SP training course and pass a comprehensive exam offered online by ISI to attain their credential. Completion of the course is a prerequisite for taking the exam. After completing the training, candidates will understand how Envision™ works, how it can improve the sustainability of their projects, and be able to successfully apply it to assess project sustainability.
