 Course Objectives

This course offers a completely new approach to environmental management systems lead auditor training. The training is focused on attendee attainment of three sets of defined competencies: auditing skills, environmental management systems, and team leader skills.

The course curriculum follows the basic steps of an EMS audit, from Preparation and Evaluation, to Reporting and Corrective Action. Attendees learn auditing processes and procedures using the Guidelines for Quality and/or Environmental Management Systems Auditing (ISO 19011:2002) standard, as well as the ISO 14001 standard. The training provides insights into external audits, such as third-party registrars and supplier audits and also includes key concepts that can be applied within your own internal audit program. Practical workshops, case studies, and simulated audits are used to practice new skills and techniques. Competency-based exercises are conducted throughout the course, and a final written examination is administered on the last day of training.
