ISO 14001 Internal Auditor Training is for anyone that wants to learn how to be part of the audit team that conducts an ISO 14001 Internal Audit (for Environmental Management Systems).
Our blended learning methodology is a hybrid approach where Learners first complete eLearning modules on the underlying theory that better prepares them in advance of attending Live Classes with an Instructor that focus on practical application in a real life context.
For in-house groups, we can also offer an instructor-led format (without eLearning), if preferred.
