ISO 14001:2015 Foundations Coure - Feedback
I enjoyed the training and how it is organised. It gives us an overview on how to mange a EMS. Additionally the training is supported by very useful examples,
Great Course
I have been selected to oversee our current ISO 14001:2015 EMS and with very little experience this course was a perfect start up for me. I plan on taking the exam in the next few days and may go through the course one more time. Strahinja was easy to follow and the course was spaced out correctly and didn’t throw too much information at you all at once.
I found this to be a very good introduction to the Standard. It was a good introduction ahead of auditor training. I completed the videos and questions in about 4 hours. I haven’t taken the exam so I don’t know if everything covered in this course fully helps with the exam, but I feel more informed now.
Interesting course
I went thhrough this course as we are about to embark on the road to acheiving ISO14001. The course had lots of useful information to help guide me over the next few months. There is lots of additional material to read as well as the main course so it is very comprehensive. I’ll think about taking the exam at a later date when I know more about ISO14001.
Very good!
I found this to be a very good introduction to the Standard. I haven’t taken the exam so I don’t know if it provides all the information needed to pass it, but I did find it quite comprehensive with all the additional reading materials.
It took me a lot longer than 8 hours – maybe I’m a slow reader… I spent between 16-20 hours to cover all the material.
Thanks a lot for making it available!

GOOD PRESENTATION
It was so simple to understand
It’s easy to follow and clear to the students specially when you gives examples
Hope to find some videos talks about how to implement Iso 14001 -2015 in drinking water field
ISO 14001
Excellent, was quite straight forward and easy to understand
ISO 14001
Excellent and Thank You very much
Delivery by presenter
For a course this technical, it will be better if the presenter is less monotonous on his speech delivery. Providing transcript will be helpful as well as some may learn/pick up faster through reading instead of listening.
ISO 14001:2015 Foundations Course
Thank you for this course. The presentation was direct and easily understood, This foundation will help for future implementation,
Week 6 Auditing
Enjoyed this weeks learning because it apply’s a lot to my current job which is about employee safety and what to do in case of emergencies.
For this weeks post, this was all about the auditing process. I enjoyed this because it was very relatable to my specific area of work!
ISO14001
Thank you…..a very good understanding is provided of the course content. I have one comment. I would like to have access to a few full 12 question sample exams. The reason is that the questions and practice exams dont give me enough understanding and feel for what type of questions and or content I can expect in the exam. To retake the exam at the South African exchange rate will make failing an expensive excercise and unaffordable. Thank you for your consideration. Regards Thomas

The video lectures along with the suggested articles and related documentations make this a very good course.

ISO 14001 Foundations Course
I am a management system expert and consultant in South Africa. I know the standards well (certified lead auditor – IRCA), and present training on SHEQ Management Systems often, as well as related training material. I also carry out audits on behalf of clients. I found this course so far to be excellent. It is straight to the point, and easy to understand. It clarifies the new requirements very clearly. Personally I will continue through the other courses as well. One never knows everything, and there is always more to learn, and getting it from other expert sources is a good way to go about it. I will easily recommend that persons enroll and do these courses.
Just on the negative side: There are a few small spelling mistakes that I have noticed so far.
this is a great foundational course. the reference material is written in an easy to read and understand language, an aspect that allows for easy understanding, and follow-through.
Great work guys!
I’d love to see what you can do for the ISO22000 standard.
