This Environmental Management Systems course develops practical knowledge for establishing or strengthening an environmental management system aligned with ISO 14001. It also examines how environmental requirements can be incorporated into an existing management system rather than managed separately.

The course is designed for people who develop, manage, audit or contribute to environmental management systems, including process owners, environmental and quality managers, internal auditors and people responsible for environmental obligations.

Course programme

Build environmental management into everyday operations

Learn how ISO 14001 can be used to identify environmental aspects, address risks and opportunities, meet compliance obligations, set objectives, prepare for emergencies and evaluate environmental performance.

This course combines facilitator-led discussion with practical group exercises.

There are no formal prerequisites.
