IEMA Is Now ISEP – Here’s What You Need to Know

/by

As of July 17th, 2025, the Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment (IEMA) has officially rebranded to the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Practice – ISEP. To celebrate this exciting announcement we have launched the ISEP Environmental Sustainability Skills for the Workforce Course and the ISEP Environmental Sustainability Skills for Managers Course.

This strategic change reflects a powerful shift in the global approach to sustainability. It recognises that environmental management is no longer a standalone function, it’s a core element of business, policy, and practice across every industry.

Why did IEMA Rebrand To ISEP?

The move from IEMA to ISEP is more than cosmetic. It signifies the broader role that sustainability professionals now play, not just managing environmental systems but driving ethical, sustainable, and system-wide change. The name ISEP embraces this wider responsibility, acknowledging that sustainability is as much about people and practice as it is about compliance and performance.

What Does The ISEP Rebrand Mean for You?

At SHEilds, we’re proud to be among the first to deliver these ISEP courses. Beginning immediately, our learners will benefit from the same globally respected standards, delivered through our next-generation Gen 2 eLearning platform, now with richer interactions and enhanced engagement.

If You Already Hold or Are Studying an IEMA Qualification:

  • Your qualifications are still fully recognised
  • Course content and assessments will continue as planned
  • You’ll still receive the same expert tutor support and flexible learning experience

If You’re Starting a New ISEP Qualification:

  • You’ll be among the first recognised professionals under ISEP
  • You’ll experience the latest Gen 2 eLearning system with dynamic interactions
  • You’ll still enjoy world-class support and flexibility, just as before

Why The ISEP Rebrand Is A Big Deal

The launch of ISEP comes at a crucial moment. The world needs trained professionals to lead the charge toward environmental responsibility, social equity, and sustainable development. Whether you’re a health & safety advisor, a compliance manager, or someone aiming to take the next step in their career.
