Certification from ESA

Earn a credential that shows your expertise

Employers in all sectors value a credential that speaks to your skills as a professional. Certification through ESA is a way for ecologists at all levels of education and training to add a credential to their resume, demonstrate their expertise, and exhibit their skill to potential employers, clients, or colleagues.

Earning a certification from ESA isn’t a one-time, set-and-forget kind of thing; our program seeks to involve certified ecologists of all career fields in the work of the Society. We offer networking, ample professional development, opportunities to mentor or be mentored, and as much as we can provide to help you succeed in your career. And we’re always open to suggestions!

Our application is based on education and experience you already have, and our fees are deliberately kept affordable.
