Member Event: CIEH Level 3 Award in Environmental Management

Aim: To provide a good understanding of key environmental concepts, understand the concept and structure of environmental management systems, and the ability to contribute towards their implementation.

Why study this?

• Businesses are pressured for good environmental performance, by legislation, lenders, investors, insurers and customers. Organisations that achieve this are more efficient, have a better corporate image, can get cheaper loans and insurance and are ultimately more profitable. Supervisors and middle management have a significant role in making environmental management happen.

• You will get an internationally recognised qualification that is approximately “A” level, the ideal stepping stone to a higher qualification such as the NEBOSH National Certificate, or the range of IEMA Certificates in Environmental Management

Objectives:

We have designed the delivery of this qualification to help managers understand:

• The principles of sustainability

• Types and features of Environmental Management Systems

• Advantages and costs of management systems

• Typical content of Environmental Policies

• UK & European Legislation

• Identify an organisation’s environmental aspects and impacts

• Implementing the management system

• Measuring performance, and environmental auditing

• Management review and reporting
