The Canadian Centre for Environmental Education (CCEE) was created in 2005 through a unique collaborative approach involving 25 major universities and colleges across Canada.
Utilizing online distance learning through Royal Roads University, the CCEE's Certificate in Environmental Practice (CEP) is used as a form of professional development, continuing education, and skills transitioning for individuals interested in, or currently working within, the environmental industry.
Eleven concentrations are offered within the certificate, aligning with the Canadian National Occupational Standards for Environmental Employment.
The two organizations responsible for creating the CCEE are ECO Canada, and Royal Roads University.
A major objective of the partnership is to facilitate a process that will help transition practitioners from other fields of specialization into the environmental sector.
