Description
Why should you take this self study training course?
ISO 14001 is a globally recognized standard that specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an environmental management system. It provides organizations with a structured framework to effectively address environmental obligations and enhance their environmental performance. Through effective planning, implementation, and performance evaluation, organizations can continually monitor their progress and take necessary actions to improve their environmental performance.
To ensure continual improvement, ISO 14001 follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. This cycle guides organizations in planning an EMS, implementing controls and processes, monitoring and evaluating EMS performance, and taking appropriate actions to continually improve the effectiveness of the EMS. By embracing the PDCA cycle, organizations can systematically enhance their environmental performance, meet environmental objectives, and maintain a sustainable approach to environmental management.
The PECB ISO 14001 Lead Auditor training course enables you to acquire the necessary competencies to conduct effective environmental management system (EMS) audits by applying widely recognized audit principles, procedures, and techniques. This training course combines the requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1, the recommendations of ISO 19011, and other best practices of auditing and integrates them into a comprehensive methodology which enables you to effectively plan and conduct ISO 14001 conformity assessment audits.
In addition to providing a solid theoretical foundation, this training course adopts a practical approach by incorporating examples, exercises, and quizzes that help you practice the most important aspects of conformity assessment audits, such as the interpretation of ISO 14001 requirements in the context of an audit, the application of auditing principles and methods, the utilization of approaches to evidence collection and verification, leading an audit team, drafting nonconformity reports, and preparing the final audit report.
