Hi - has anyone undertaken ISSP or IEMA certification programs? Wondering if they are useful in terms of building knowledge and really recognised or helpful when looking for new sustainability roles.

I did ISSP. I think these types of programs are better if you have little/no sustainability experience. Relatively basic info and I don’t see any of these certain holding much value for the resume. Saying this as a practitioner and hiring manager. Other specialized ones like LEED or Energy Manager get better recognition in lieu of experience.

ISSP is very helpful to build and refresh your sustainability knowledge, I highly recommend it, the SEA level is great to build the must to know in sustainability.

The ISSP covers the basics of sustainability but not a lot of working knowledge. Agree with the comment above.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
