Overview

Environmental and occupational health & safety risks affect every organization, and regulatory pressure continues to rise. To stay compliant and protect both people and the planet, companies need skilled auditors who can evaluate management systems against international standards and drive meaningful improvement.

This live-online ISO 14001 & ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Training course is recognized by Exemplar Global and provides a complete path to becoming a certified Lead Auditor for both ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.

Over five intensive days, you’ll develop practical auditing skills and a solid understanding of both standards, along with the tools to evaluate conformance, identify risk, and drive system improvement. Whether you’re auditing internally, working with suppliers, or supporting certification efforts, this course prepares you to lead with confidence.

This training combines environmental and occupational health & safety content in a streamlined format that is helpful for professionals at all levels. The first four days cover ISO 14001 audit training, including management system principles, audit planning, conducting interviews, writing findings, and leading audit teams. The fifth day builds on this foundation with targeted instruction on ISO 45001 and hazard identification, allowing you to complete both credentials in one course.

This program goes beyond theoretical knowledge by using case studies, exercises, and role-playing scenarios to build real-world skills. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to conduct value-added audits that improve system effectiveness, support regulatory compliance, and help your organization meet its environmental and safety goals.
