The Professional certification covers the knowledge required to gain an understanding of the content and requirements of the international standard ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems as well as the skills required to successfully apply and implement all the practical content of the standards, for anyone involved in any Environmental Management Systems implementation or improvement activity. PeopleCert’s ISO 14001 Professional level qualification is also the first step in achieving the Auditor or the Consultant level of certification, since after successfully passing the Professional level of this qualification an additional level of certification can be achieved depending on which supplemental certification is achieved (PeopleCert’s ISO 19011 or PeopleCert’s ISO 10019 plus a Personal Attributes Assessment Test).
It is recommended that candidates attempting this level of the certification possess fundamental knowledge of quality management systems principles and processes. It is mandatory that candidates at this level of certification attend associated accredited training course and hold PeopleCert’s ISO 14001 Foundation certificate.
This qualification is aimed at anyone working within an organisation (internally or externally) who may require to have and demonstrate a solid knowledge and understanding of the ISO 14001 standard and its practical content. The certification can also cater for candidates seeking certification at a highly practical and not only theoretical level regarding the Environmental Management System implementation activities based on ISO 14001 and or candidates who need to prove not only their understanding of the subject but also their ability to practically apply ISO 14001 within their organisation.
