Course Overview

A one-day awareness course designed to provide attendees with an introduction to environmental management systems based on the requirements of the ISO 14001:2015 standard and how this standard can be used to develop and improve an environmental management system. In the past some companies may have seen environmental management as a luxury that they could ill afford but things are changing. Legislation designed to protect the environment has steadily increased and many customers use environmental performance as a key selection criteria when awarding contracts.

Course Reviews
Clear and understandable

S.W. Ballast Phoenix, Conflict Management

The course was delivered by a lovely tutor who really enjoys what she does. This was evident through out the course which made it a lovely experience for me

J.E. HMP Full Sutton HMP Gartree, Minute Taking

I feel much more confident using formulas now. I will definitely do more charts for insertion into reports now.

S.X. Merton Council, Excel Level 1

Great course and the trainer was happy to answer questions and show examples to support learning

P.B. Community Foundation, Word intermediate

Which part of the course did you find particularly valuable I found the information on bookmarks and page navigation to be particularly helpful. I had previously used Power BI however as I was self taught I had never explored this before. I also found the terminology to be very useful, for example 'Content Pack' it is important to work to the true standards after all.

J.I. NHS BSA, Microsoft Power BI Desktop

I thought [the trainer] was very patient and helped the less able candidates on our course ie me! Thank you.

C.L. South Tyneside Sunderland NHSFT, Excel Level 2

What were the most useful aspects of the course Learning all aspects of communication and understanding much clearer how everyone has different thought processes

F.R. Cenergist Ltd, Personal Effectiveness and Communication Skills with Clarity 4D Personality Profile

One of the best courses I have ever attended. The pace was good and there were not any questions that the trainer could not answer.
