Chartered Geographer (Teacher) »
Chartered GeographerChartered Geographer 

Chartered Geographer (CGeog) is the only internationally recognised professional accreditation for those with competence, experience and professionalism in the use of geographical knowledge, understanding and skills in the workplace.

If you use geographical knowledge and skills on a daily basis and would like a professional accreditation that recognises your work as a geographer then Chartered Geographer status is for you.  It is relevant whether you work in academia, a private-sector consultancy, a public sector agency or a business.

It is the same in concept and scope to chartered accreditation in other professions such as Chartered Surveyor, Chartered Engineer, Chartered Environmentalist, Chartered Meteorologists etc.

In addition to Chartered Geographer, we also specifically validate professionals in GIS, geomorphology and geography teachers. For the latter, see the dedicated Chartered Geographer (Teacher) site on the left.
