The ISO 14001 Internal Auditor training course is a 3-day course, encompassing the following:

The course is essentially two days of hands-on training on the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems – Requirements with Guidance for Use, International standard, plus one day of training in auditing techniques. This course focuses on three areas:
- The foundation of ISO 14001:2015 based on the common framework adopted by all ISO standards: the High Level Structure (HLS), common text, and common terminology adopted by all ISO standards.
- In depth overview of each clause of the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems – Requirements, International Standard, explaining what the standard says, what the standard means, how to implement the standard in the real world, and how to audit it.
- The fundamental requirements to create an Internal Audit Program and conduct Internal Audits in accordance with ISO 19011:2018, “Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems”.
Role-playing audit scenarios helps develop a hands-on understanding that will facilitate the implementation of a good Environmental Management System and Internal Audit program.
