COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

This qualification is designed for anyone who has responsibilities for managing environmental issues as part of their work. The qualification is designed to be globally relevant and benefit companies in all industry sectors who are seeking to implement effective environmental management systems, increase positive environmental impacts, and reduce negative environmental impacts. On completion of the qualification, learners will be able to: - 

 

Understand a range of environmental issues in order to improve performance and reduce harm; 

Work with an environmental management system and contribute to continual improvement; 

 

·         Recognize environmental aspects and evaluate current controls; 

·         Support decision-making with ethical, legal, and financial arguments; 

·         Understand the links between your organization’s activities and wider environmental issues. 

All elements (1-9) are assessed by an open book examination. The practical assessment requires learners to review environmental aspects and impacts in their own workplace. It draws on the various environmental issues in elements 4-9, as well as the process of assessing environmental aspects and impacts covered in element 3. Both assessments will be marked by NEBOSH. 

 

The EMC has two unit assessments; participant must achieve a “Pass” in both units to be awarded the qualification. Participants will have five years to complete their qualification. The five-year period starts from the date that they pass their first successful unit (we call this the ‘declaration date’). Any unit that is five or more years old will not count towards the qualification and participant will need to retake this/these unit(s) if they still want to complete the qualification.
