IEMA Foundation Certificate

IEMAThis four day course provides delegates with an excellent overview of the issues facing those involved in environmental programmes in the work place. It is an ideal "crash course" for those with little or no experience of the issues or have recently been given responsibility for the environmental management of their organisation. Otherwise someone who has had a narrow experience of environmental management system, such as Green Dragon or ISO 14001, without the wider contextual knowledge, which is often essential, to making a system work effectively and achieve continual improvement.

Included in the cost of the course is the first year's Affiliate membership of IEMA (Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment), the UK's leading professional institute for those working in the environmental field.
