Canadian Centre for Environmental Education

The Canadian Centre for Environmental Education (CCEE) was created in 2006 through a partnership between ECO Canada (Environmental Careers Organization) and Royal Roads University. The goals of the CCEE are to develop the education, training, professional development, and mobility of the environmental profession both within Canada and internationally .


Certificate in Environmental Practice

The CCEE offers the Certificate in Environmental Practice—a distance-delivered Certificate awarded by Royal Roads University. Courses are offered by Royal Roads as well as other Canadian universities and colleges 1 (see a list of participating institutions below). This is notable because it is the first time this number of Canadian universities and colleges have come together to offer one program 2.


There are 10 optional concentrations in the certificate program. These concentrations are derived from Canada’s National Occupational Standards for Environmental Employment 3. The concentrations are:

1. Environmental Assessment, Remediation, Restoration, and Reclamation

2. Policy, Legislation, and Regulation

3. Pollution Prevention, Abatement, and Control

4. Waste Management Systems, Processes, and Procedures

5. Sampling and Analytical Work related to Environmental Activities

6. Strategic Partnering, Planning, Monitoring, and Reporting for Sustainability

7. Environmental Management Systems, Risk Assessment, Health and Safety

8. Natural Resources Planning, and Management

9. Environmental Education, and Training

10. Environmental Communications and Public Awareness
