Price: 39 AUD
Availability: InStock

A practical, visual introduction to ISO 14001:2015 including Amd 1:2024, the superseded edition of the international environmental management system standard, for organisations transitioning to ISO 14001:2026 before May 2029. Learn what an environmental management system is and how it differs from environmental law, how context and the 2024 climate amendment work, what environmental aspects and impacts are and how the life cycle perspective applies, what compliance obligations and operational control mean including outsourced processes and how performance is monitored, audited and improved. Written for people in an organisation still certified to, or still building toward, the 2015 edition during the transition. It does not teach ISO 14001:2026 and it is not a substitute for ISO 14001:2026 Environmental Management Systems Awareness or for What Changed In ISO 14001:2026.

Who This Course Is For

Workers, supervisors, managers and contractors in an organisation certified to ISO 14001:2015 or still building toward that edition, during the transition. It is not a course for people starting a new system against ISO 14001:2026.

Accreditation: This is a non-accredited awareness course. It is written against ISO 14001:2015 including Amd 1:2024, the Climate action changes amendment, which is the superseded edition. ISO 14001:2026 was published on 15 April 2026 and superseded the 2015 edition, including that 2024 amendment. This course does not teach the 2026 edition and does not call the 2015 edition current. Completing it does not certify you, does not certify your organisation and is not a substitute for an audit by an accredited certification body, for your organisation's own environmental procedures or for the environmental laws, licences and approvals that apply where you work. Completing it is not a substitute for ISO 14001:2026 Environmental Management Systems Awareness or for What Changed In ISO 14001:2026. ISO 14001 is not required by law.
