Environmental management for managers: ISO 14001, performance and permits
A course for site and environment managers: leading an environmental management system after the publication of ISO 14001:2026, owning aspects and compliance obligations including industrial permits, evaluating environmental performance with ISO 14031, setting objectives and resourcing controls, and using management review to drive measurable results. Five modules, each with a worked example, and a 10-question final quiz. Based on cited official standards and guidance. Not an accredited qualification or a lead-auditor certificate. It does not replace the shop-floor supervision course on site controls, waste and spills.
