IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management
The standard course takes place over five days and combines practical case study exercises with trainer presentations and group review sessions. As with all Cambio courses there is a strong emphasis on activity based learning through exercises that encourage team working and innovation.
The course is divided into three modules :
- Environmental sustainability - developing an understanding of the issues, pressures and opportunities associated with environmental management in an organisation
- Legal issues - providing an overview of current UK environmental legislation and its implications for business and/or the public sector
- Managing environmental performance including :
- The methods and principles behind the identification of an organisation's significant environmental aspects
- Environmental management systems - ISO14001 and EMAS
- An overview of the control and improvement techniques used to manage waste, energy and pollution prevention within an organisation
Successful completion of the group exercises and a short end of course exam leads to the award of the Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management.
Note - delegates completing the 5-day IOSH Managing Environmental Responsibilities course can opt to acheive dual qualifications and also receive the IEMA Foundation Certificate.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at people involved in company environmental improvement programmes and/or environmental management systems. The course is designed to be useful to delegates who have recently become involved in environmental management or for whom environmental management is an integral part of a wide range of responsibilities.
Note - a 3-day version of this course is also available for in-company delivery. The 3-day course is separate to the combined syllabus programme. Delegates who think they may wish to continue to the later parts of the combined syllabus programme eg the IEMA Associate Certificate course, are advised to attend the 5-day version which is delivered in conjunction with the IOSH Managing Environmental Responsibilities course rather than the 3-day Foundation Certificate programme.
