About

This 3-day course equips participants with the knowledge and hands-on skills to both implement and audit an ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System (EMS). It combines Mireaux’s comprehensive 2-day ISO 14001 Implementation training with an additional day of Internal Auditing Techniques, aligned with ISO 19011:2018 audit guidelines.

Description

The ISO 14001:2015 Internal Auditor course provides a well-rounded learning experience for professionals responsible for managing or auditing environmental systems. It focuses on three key areas:

  • Foundational Knowledge – Understand the High Level Structure (HLS) and shared terminology used across ISO standards, helping participants align and integrate EMS with other systems.

  • Clause-by-Clause Requirements – Explore the ISO 14001:2015 standard in depth, with guidance on what each clause requires, how to implement it, and how to audit it effectively.

  • Auditing Techniques – Learn how to establish and manage an internal audit program, conduct audits, write meaningful nonconformities, and drive continual improvement.

Filled with real-life examples, practical exercises, and audit scenarios, this course builds both competence and confidence in environmental auditing.
