This two-day interactive and practical course has been designed to provide a client team with both an understanding of the standard’s requirements and to take them through a structured process to enable them to design and develop the implementation of an EMS for their organisation.
The course is also designed to be flexible in meeting the client’s starting point in respect of existing management systems through the use of a gap analysis tool throughout the course.

The client team will, through the structured programme and the series of tutorials and workshops addressing the standard’s requirements in relation to their organisational issues, develop the foundation of their EMS and an associated implementation plan.
