ISO 14001 Lead Auditor Training Course

An IEMA, CQI and IRCA (Course ID: 2250) certified Lead Environmental Auditor training course based on ISO 14001:2015

Overview

This five day IEMA, CQI and IRCA Certified ISO 14001 Lead Auditor training course is designed to develop the delegate’s knowledge of Environmental Management System (EMS) auditing and ISO 14001:2015, delivering a full understanding of the processes and techniques of EMS auditing and the requirements of ISO 14001. Pre-course study of the ISO 14001:2015 standard and EMAS is required to prepare delegates for the course.

EMS Auditing provides a proactive mechanism not only for identifying non-conformances to agreed practices, which could prejudice good performance, but also for identifying opportunities for enhancing performance. Properly focused, it is a key process both for ensuring compliance with ISO 14001 and for driving continuous improvement in an organisation’s environmental performance.

This ISO 14001 Lead Auditor training course delivers its learning through theory, case studies and workshop sessions, including some group evening work.  It is IEMA, CQI and IRCA certified and fully meets the classroom training requirements for EMS Auditor registration with IEMA, CQI and IRCA. The course is assessed by continuous assessment and an examination, and is based on the newly revised ISO 14001:2015.
