ISO 14001 Lead Auditor

Can one implement ISO 14001 without been an ISO 14001 Lead Auditor?

Answer:

Yes, there is no mandatory requirement to be a Lead Auditor, to be able to implement an ISO 14001 environmental management system (EMS). Anyone wanting to implement an ISO 14001 EMS can do it as long as he/she get knowledge about the standard and/or get help from a consultant.

Which is a better qualification to possess as an environmental manager introduction to ISO 14001 certification or Lead Auditor course ISO 14001?

Answer:

As an environmental manager, if you need an introduction to ISO 14001 then ISO 14001:2015 Foundations Course - https://advisera.com/training/iso-14001-internal-auditor-course/ is the right course for you. The focus is on ISO 14001 and you will be able to understand the standard and feel more confident for starting an implementation project. Alternatively you can have a course like ISO 14001:2015 Internal Auditor Course - https://advisera.com/training/iso-14001-internal-auditor-course/ because that way you will be able to perform internal audits during the implementation. The ISO 14001:2015 Internal Auditor Course has 9 modules, and the first 5 are included in the ISO 14001:2015 Foundations Course. Another possibility is our ISO 14001:2015 Lead Implementer Course - https://advisera.com/training/iso-14001-lead-implementer-course/ with 11 modules. The first 5 are included in the ISO 14001:2015 Foundations Course, the other 6 are about techniques to implement a management system.
