Chartered Water and Environmental Manager qualification (MCIWEM C.WEM)

Who can join?

To qualify for Chartered membership you will need an Honour's degree (or equivalent), depending on any additional registrations that you are applying for you may need a Masters degree. You will also need a sufficient amount of industry experience. There is no defined minimum amount of time over which this can be attained, but typically professionals with less than five years' experience are unlikely to have attained the necessary levels of experience. Using the experience that you have accumulated throughout your career you will need to demonstrate 14 mandatory competences.

In addition to holding exemplifying qualifications to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding elements of professional competence, there are other ways you can demonstrate the necessary knowledge and understanding for progression to chartership. The C.WEM Work Based Learning Route provides a means of enabling very experienced applicants who lack the exemplifying academic qualifications to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding which they have acquired through their working experience.

Why become a Chartered member?

• Recognition of your professional competence
• Broaden your horizons and lead the debate
• Demonstrate higher standards
• Build a global professional network
• Develop your expertise and earning potential
• Lead and influence

CIWEM Mandatory Competence Attainment Report Guidance

Mandatory competencies allow you to show us the formal and informal skills and qualities that you have developed throughout your career. They will demonstrate:

• your ability to work independently and as part of a team,
• how you take initiative to work effectively and apply yourself to a variety of situations, and
• how you have reached a stage in your career where you can competently lead in your technical field and influence others.

Please provide a response to each of the CIWEM Mandatory Competencies in the relevant section of your online application. The maximum number of words for the Mandatory Competence submission is 4000 words; the distribution between individual competencies is at your discretion to best demonstrate your experience. However, we recommend that you do not exceed 400 words on any response to ensure that you provide us with sufficient information to demonstrate the full breadth of experience required. Please give due consideration to all competencies in your submission; no competence can be left blank. Also, please note that appendices, references and footnotes will not be accepted.

You need to use examples from your own practical experience to demonstrate the appropriate level of achievement for each competence.

Your responses need to be written in the first person and identify your roles and responsibilities, what you have done and what you have learned. Using words such as “involved” is discouraged as this does not inform us of your role and responsibility. If you were part of a team you need to identify what you personally did, describing your contribution to the overall aim of the specific project or piece of work.
