Aarcher Institute is proud to partner with the National Registry of Environmental Professionals (NREP) and offer the Registered Environmental Manager (REM) exam to any and all students who register for Aarcher Institute’s Original Environmental Bootcamp. Aarcher Institute’s Original Environmental Bootcamp will serve as a solid refresher to all environmental professionals that wish to take the REM exam.

“The REM credential is valuable for many environmental professionals, and we appreciate the opportunity to support this program,” says Jeremy Kelley, Environmental Consultant, Aarcher Institute of Environmental Training.

The exam will be offered on the 5th day of the Environmental Bootcamp. This exam will be offered for an additional fee of $200 per student. Students can enroll in the exam on-line during the registration process.

The mission of NREP is to "promote legal and professional recognition of individuals possessing education, training, and experience and environmental managers, engineers, technologists, scientists and technicians – and to consolidate that recognition into one centralized source – so that the public, government, employers, and insurers can justify the importance and acceptance of such individuals to carry out operations and management of environmental activities."

Aarcher Institute Students To Be Eligible for Environmental Navigators® Community Resource Site

Aarcher Institute of Environmental Training students who complete any Aarcher Institute course will become eligible for a free membership for unlimited access to the Environmental Navigators® website when it is launched in approximately January 2007.

The Environmental Navigators® website, which will be located at environmentalnavigators.com, will provide a unique Internet destination designed specifically for those with direct environmental responsibilities. This is not a site for the public or those with casual interest. The environmentalnavigators.com is a compilation of regulatory and environmental programmatic overviews on a wide and ever-growing range of environmental topics, an active links directory developed by other users, a library of documents uploaded by other users, and, most importantly, and active discussion forum. The discussion forum allows users to anonymously post questions regarding their environmental challenges, review and respond to issues raised by others, debate regulatory interpretations and technical issues, and search the archives of previously resolved items. General access to this site will remains on a subscription basis ($425 per year for 2007); however, Aarcher Institute students will find this to be a welcomed and unexpected benefit of attending courses.
