It is for people with existing ISO 14001 knowledge, including auditors, environmental managers and consultants who need to update their understanding and practices for the revised standard.

Foundation is a useful starting point if you are new to ISO 14001. If you already have relevant knowledge or experience, check the entry requirements of the course you want to take.
How are the courses delivered?
Available learning methods may vary by course and schedule. Check the current training catalogue for individual enrolment, or contact our team about training for your organisation.
Will completing a course certify my organisation to ISO 14001?
No. A training course develops an individual’s knowledge and skills. Certification of an organisation’s environmental management system is a separate process.
