This training has been developed to assist organizations and individuals planning to implement the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Standard.
The ISO 14001:2015 EMS standard promotes corporate environmental responsibility. It provides a holistic and systematic approach to managing an organization’s operations that have a significant impact on the environment.
Complying with ISO 14001:2015 would strengthen the organization’s legislative compliance with environmental laws and regulations. It also helps an organization to achieve operational efficiency, resources optimization, and waste minimization, as well as developing better relations with the community.

-
Continuous assessment
Each participant will be evaluated on a daily basis to monitor performance as well as participation. Participants will get the best results from the course by joining and participating fully in discussions and exercises. Should the evaluation be successful, the participant will be allowed to take the written two-hour examination.

Written Examination
An open book written examination has to be taken at the end of the module. The examination will consist of multiple-choice questions, essay type questions, and scenarios. The pass mark for the examination is 60%.
