Environmental Management NVQ Level 4 (ILM)

environmental-management This Level 4 NVQ (accredited by ILM) is designed to provide individuals with the environmental knowledge and skills necessary to improve the environmental performance of their organisation.

The course also provides a basis for the implementation and maintenance (or continual improvement) of an Environmental Management System (EMS).

This could be to a recognised standard such as ISO14001, EMAS or BS8555.
