The ultimate aim of this training course is to train delegates to effectively lead the development and implementation of an Environmental Management System EMS) in virtually any commercial setting.
This comprehensive three-day program will take participants through the implementation of an EMS that is compliant with the international standard ISO14001. The course combines tutorials with workshops sessions, enabling delegates to work together on specific challenges associated with the EMS implementation processes. During the programme, delegates will experience all aspects of EMS implementation, from the initial identification of environmental aspects and impacts, through to the internal audit programme and management review.
Successful completion of the course and exam will contribute to Continual Professional Development (CPD) requirements for auditor registration under the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment's (IEMA) Environmental Auditor Registration Scheme.
The course is designed for anybody who is responsible for implementing an EMS or who may be part of a team that is managing environmental issues within their organisation. It is not specific to any sector and many of the workshops are open, enabling delegates to apply the theory of EMS to their own organisation.
