An environmental management system is judged on whether environmental performance actually improves, not on how thoroughly it is documented. The internal audit is where an organisation finds out which of the two it has.
This two-day course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to conduct internal audits of an Environmental Management System aligned with ISO 14001:2015, following the audit protocols of ISO 19011:2018. It covers audit planning, conducting the audit, reporting and follow-up, with practical exercises, case studies and role-play throughout.

Corrective actions that close the loop rather than repeat next year.
Who Should Attend
Before You Begin
