ISO 14001 Implementation Courses
CQS (Certified Quality Systems) Limited can provide you with ISO 14001 Implementation Training which can be carried out on your premises or remotely for as many delegates as required.
A training pack on the ISO 14001 standard will be supplied to each delegate on the course and all attendees will receive a certificate on completion.
The course will cover the aims of an Environmental Management System, risk based thinking, the ISO 14001 clauses and the concepts of planning, performing, documenting, communication, evaluation and follow up activities that need to take place during the Internal Audit of your environmental management system. The training provided is a mixture of direct discussion, interactive exercises and workshops which together help to encourage the participation of the attendees.
Internal Audit is a key component in monitoring and measuring the performance of your ISO 14001 Environmental Management System processes and an effective tool for enabling continual improvement so it is important that the Internal Auditor or Internal Audit Team have the knowledge required to implement this management tool effectively.
Internal Audit is also a useful business tool to help develop the skills of your staff to interrogate other business areas that may not be related to management systems. This course will help to develop the analytical skills of staff members which can be utilised in other areas of your business.
