Environmental Practices Review Resources

Overview

The Institute of Professional Environmental Practice (IPEP) is the independent, not-for-profit certifying organization for the Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) and the Environmental Professional Intern (EPI).  If you are interested in becoming certified through IPEP, the Air & Waste Management Association offers courses to assist individuals in preparing for the QEP and EPI written examinations.  These courses are offered live each year at our Annual Conference & Exhibition.
