ISO 14001 Lead Implementer Course
Our convenient online course will give you the knowledge and experience you need to become an independent ISO 14001 consultant, ready to help companies implement their own Environmental Management Systems (EMS). The ISO 14001 Lead Implementer Course was designed for beginners with no prior knowledge of environmental management or consulting, so you can get started right away. The course includes a certificate, approved by ASIC, which proves your expertise in the standard and enhances your consulting practice, as most organizations seek out certified consultants.
After successful completion of the course examination, you will receive a globally recognized certificate showcasing your competence as a consultant or practitioner in ISO 14001. And, as most companies look for professionals with formal accreditations, your certification will open the door to new career pathways.
The ISO 14001 Lead Implementer Course is made up of 3 parts: a set of video lectures, a workshop, and an online certification exam. Each of these parts brings you closer to your goal of becoming a certified ISO 14001 Lead Implementer. You’ll also gain access to a library of on-demand videos featuring tutorials on writing your ISO 14001 documentation and procedures, helping you become a more confident consultant.
