IEMA became ISEP (The Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals)

What has happened?

In July 2025, IEMA became ISEP (The Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals).

What is ISEP?

ISEP is the global membership body that sets the standard in sustainability knowledge, skills and practice.

Whether sustainability is at the heart of what you do, an essential element or you just want to support change, ISEP training provides learners with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make a positive impact on business, society and the environment – backed by globally recognised standards, resources and professional networks.

Jarrold Training is proud and excited to be part of this new chapter as we partner with ISEP in equipping sustainability and environmental professionals for the present…and the future.

Why is ISEP important?

Climate change and environmental breakdown are the biggest risks facing business and society. There is urgent need to upskill the global workforce to deliver practical and achievable solutions to the unfolding environmental crisis.

How will the change from IEMA to ISEP affect learners?

The names of ISEP training courses will be slightly different to reflect the new brand, however the content, syllabus and learning outcomes will not change:

IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management (AIEMA) becomes: ISEP Foundation Certificate in Sustainability & Environmental Management (AISEP)

IEMA Certificate in Environmental Management (PIEMA) becomes: ISEP Certificate in Sustainability & Environmental Management (PISEP)

The other main change will be the switch to the new post-nominals/suffix for learners that qualify for membership.

The new ISEP suffixes will undergo a simple transition from IEMA to ISEP, with some variations.
