Unique: Foundation and Internal Auditor training in one

No prior experience of ISO 14001 or Environmental Management is necessary to enrol for this ISO 14001 Internal Auditor training course. Our qualified tutors quickly identify your personal experience level, and layer the training content according to you learning preferences and pace.  To maximise cost-effectiveness for our clients, we've chosen to condense the material that some other providers spread over three days, into just two: a foundational look at the clauses of ISO 14001, plus comprehensive coaching on how to prepare, conduct and report on an internal audit against the Standard.
