I was wondering, when working at a design institute, is it better to become an environmental impact assessment engineer or an environmental protection engineer? Or which of these two certificates should I take first?
Environmental engineers have broader employment opportunities in the future.
These two certificates have different uses; the registration as an environmental protection engineer is related to design work, and the qualification of a design institute is also required; Environmental assessors are specialized in environmental assessment. In my opinion, one should at least register as an environmental engineer first; by 2010, the qualifications of design institutes were to be evaluated based on the status of registered engineers.
At the design institute, you need to take exams to obtain both certificates, and both of them are very useful. Someone like me, who isn’t working in a design firm, still wants to become an environmental assessment engineer. Having multiple skills is never a disadvantage.
Hehe, if one can pass the exam, either one is fine. But if one is too busy with work and doesn’t have time to prepare for the exam, I still recommend becoming an environmental protection specialist.
These two certifications are of the same level, but their purposes are different: the Certified Environmental Engineer is intended for design work, while the Environmental Assessment Engineer is meant for evaluation tasks. My opinion is to take the Certified Environmental Protection Specialist exam first
