Depending on specialisms and work, some practitioners can work 100% remotely (mainly consultants).
Registered EHPs are accredited by CIEH and have passed a rigorous assessment of their skills and competence. In addition to being listed on a formal register, they can also use a digital credential to formally demonstrate and verify their professional status.
