ISO 14001:2015 Internal Auditor Course

This course enables participants to plan, perform, evaluate, and report the results of internal environmental audits with confidence. It also helps participants understand the key features of an effective Environmental Management System (EMS) and the role of the internal auditor in supporting continual improvement.

When combined with an ISO 14001 Foundation Course, this training meets the formal requirements for those wishing to register under the CQI and IRCA Certified Training Scheme as an Internal EMS Auditor.

Successful participants will gain the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to plan, conduct, and report internal EMS audits effectively.

• Basic environmental concepts and risk-based thinking
• The structure and principles of an EMS
• Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle methodology and key environmental management principles
• Overview of the main ISO 14001:2015 requirements
• Roles and responsibilities of auditors
• Types of environmental audits
• Effective auditing techniques and good audit practices
• Reporting valid findings and managing corrective actions

This course is ideal for anyone responsible for conducting internal environmental audits, or for those involved in planning, managing, or implementing internal audit programmes.

It is also valuable for team leaders and supervisors working with EMS who want to broaden their understanding of environmental issues and learn how to contribute more effectively to their organisation’s success.

No previous auditing or environmental management system experience is required.

On successful completion of the course, individuals will receive a CQI and IRCA-accredited training certificate (2354).
