IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management
The 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

- Environmental management systems - ISO14001 and EMAS
