To put in an application to become a CENVP, there are two intakes per year, occuring in June and December. To apply, you will be required to submit a written application. Application materials, advice and information on the next intake closing date can be found on our Applications page.

Once reviewed by the registrar and found to be complete, your application is sent to the appropriate regional certification panel, which conducts an assessment interview to complete the process. The panel recommendation is then passed on to the certification Board, which then ratifies a decision on your application. Further information can be found in the FAQs.

If your application is successful, you will receive a Certification Kit, including a CENVP certificate, the EIANZ Code of Ethics, a Continuing Professional Development Log, a CENVP Identification Card, the CENVP digital logo, and more.

Once certified, your certification will be reviewed on a two yearly basis. To maintain CENVP status, certified practitioners will need to provide evidence of Continuing Professional Development and a statement verifying any changed circumstances including employment and ethical conduct.

Unsuccessful applicants generally have two options: 1) to reapply once they have met the requirements specified by the Board; or 2) to appeal the decision with the Board through the appeals process. Further information can be found in the FAQs.
