ISO 14001 Auditor Conversion Training Course

This 3-day ISO 14001 Auditor Conversion training course is designed for existing 1st, 2nd and 3rd party auditors.  The course provides delegates with the knowledge and skills to audit an environmental management system (EMS) against ISO 14001. In addition the course provides an overview of ISO 14001 inclusive of its purpose and benefits.

The course incorporates tutor-led modules, discussions and workshops along with role plays and a central case study to allow delegates to put ideas learnt into practise. For example, delegates will  work in teams to create an EMS Audit Plan and Checklist, undertake a role-play of a senior management interview and complete a simulated site audit. Finally, the course concludes with an examination.

During the course delegates will acquire the knowledge to:

• describe the purpose and benefits of an environmental management system
• understand the key clauses of ISO 14001
• explain the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) framework and its application to environmental management processes
