Manage your environmental impact with confidence.
Clients, investors and regulators increasingly expect organisations to show they understand and control their environmental impact. The NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate gives you the knowledge to do exactly that, whatever sector you work in.
It covers environmental management systems, how to assess environmental aspects and impacts, and the practical control of emissions, noise, water, waste and energy. No previous qualification is needed.
The certificate explained.
Want the full picture before you enquire? Ask us for the course information pack.
Every organisation affects the environment through the energy it uses, the waste it produces and the emissions it releases. Managing those effects well reduces legal risk, cuts costs and protects your reputation.
The course starts with the foundations of environmental management and how management systems such as ISO 14001 work. You then learn to identify environmental aspects and assess their impacts, plan for emergencies, and control emissions to air, noise, water contamination, waste, land use and energy.
The practical assessment asks you to assess environmental aspects and impacts in a real workplace, so you can apply the course straight away.
