It is a competency based program - one where the applicant will demonstrate what they know and can do by building a portfolio. The competencies for Certification are based on the NAAEE Guidelines for Excellence in Environmental Education and Colorado Guidelines for Environmental Educators.
Whether you are new to the field or have years of experience, the certification program can help you grow as an environmental educator. We offer two levels of certification and the portfolio requirement allows you to submit work that is relevant to you.
