What is the course about?

The L3 Award in Environmental Management is a nationally recognised qualification designed for individuals who are responsible for managing environmental risks, impacts, and compliance within the workplace.

This qualification provides learners with the knowledge and practical understanding required to support effective environmental management systems, contribute to sustainability objectives, and ensure legal and organisational environmental responsibilities are met. It is particularly suited to those working in construction, utilities, manufacturing, facilities management, logistics, and other operational environments where environmental controls are critical.

which focuses on advanced environmental management systems and strategic environmental risk control.
