ECUS EMS INTERNAL AUDITOR COURSES (1 or 2 day course available)  

Introduction to the Courses:

ECUS has developed two practical training courses on EMS Internal Auditing: a 1 day and a 2 day course. Both courses can be delivered at your premises at your convenience. The 2 day course is also available as a scheduled course delivered at ECUS' offices in Sheffield.

The courses are a blend of presented sessions and practical group and individual exercises. Both courses provide a comprehensive training package on how to internally audit an EMS to the requirements of ISO 14001:2004, but contain differing levels of detail to reflect the levels of prior experience that delegates bring to the course.

Course Details:

The 1 day course is suitable for those trainee auditors who have some experience of auditing management systems (e.g. quality or health and safety) but do not have the specific experience of auditing ISO 14001 systems or need some refresher training in the subject.

The 2 day course provides a more detailed training package which includes all the tools and training a novice auditor needs to effectively conduct internal audits of their organisation's EMS to the requirements of ISO 14001.

Course Dates and Prices:

The 2 day course:
The 2 day course is available as a scheduled course, delivered at ECUS' offices and open to all organisation that wish to attend. The 1 day course is currently only available as a specific course to your organisation delivered at your premises and at your convenience.
