If you feel like you need some formal training to effectively internally audit your organisation’s Environmental Management System (EMS) or you want to make yourself invaluable and turn your current auditing skills to use in the context of an EMS, this course is designed to help you.

The IEMA approved 3-day course provides a comprehensive package which includes all the tools and training necessary to effectively internally audit an EMS to the requirements of ISO 14001:2004 and BS8555. No previous auditing experience is required.

The course gives practical auditing guidance through a combination of presented sessions and practical exercises. Our IEMA registered professionals are experts in auditing and will provide you with practical case studies and exercises to help develop your techniques.

The course offers an open forum for attendees to share experiences and issues relating to auditing their EMS.

The HEFE sector is at a pivotal stage in implementing and maintaining successful Environmental Management Systems, and it is essential to ensure that your organisation can be effectively audited to ensure legal compliance, environmental best practice and continuous improvement.
