Who Should Attend?
This qualification is for anyone who needs to gain a basic understanding of environmental impacts and risk control. It provides an introduction to implementing ISO 14001. It is an environmental qualification for learners with no prior knowledge of the subject required. The qualification has global relevance and covers the principles of environmental management, not UK specific law. It may be particularly relevant for:
- Team leaders and supervisors
- Facilities managers
- Anyone wishing to ensure they work positively with regard to the environment.
Assessment
The Award in Environmental Awareness at Work is a one unit qualification which is assessed by a thirty-minute multiple choice examination.
- Each examination consists of twenty mandatory questions (1 mark each) with one correct and three incorrect responses available per question. Each examination paper covers the whole unit syllabus with at least one question per unit element and all questions are compulsory.
It is a closed-book assessment, so you will not be able to refer to your course book or notes. You must achieve a ‘pass’ (60% or higher) in order to be awarded the qualification.
