Since the passage of the Environmental Education Act passed on June 5, 2010, the National Environmental Research Academy (NERA) has systematically advanced initiatives pertaining to environmental education certification. These endeavors are focused on implementing regulatory compliance, conducting application reviews, and managing tracking processes. This project established the New Environmental Education Certification System (NEECS), which primarily inherited the functional processes and databases of the current Environmental Education Certification System (EECS). This initiative aligned with the revisions to the Organization Act of the Ministry of Environment, the Regulations for the Certification and Management of Environmental Education Institutions, the Regulations for the Certification and Management of Environmental Education Personnel, and the Regulations for the Certification and Management of Environmental Education Facilities and Venues. Adjustments to the related system functions were implemented to streamline government procedures for the convenience of the public. The primary objective of this project was to optimize the management functions for NERA contractors. This involved adjusting the operational method for recognizing educational credits in environmental education personnel qualifications, leading to substantial reductions in manual review time. Additional features were introduced, including the capability to add promotional data for lecturers in the talent pool and a batch review function for personnel to assess achievement data. These enhancements provided greater flexibility in managing lecturer data for NERA personnel, aligning with practical administrative processes. To achieve NERA’s vision for a paperless, digital, and intelligent environmental education certification, this project proposed a feasibility assessment for electronic signatures. Additionally, this project outlined the planning and expansion of services under the MOENV One-stop Service of the Ministry of Environment, utilizing existing resources for a rational goal-setting.
