Internal Auditor Training – ISO 14001 and ISO 45001

EHS Management Strategies (EHSMS) has been teaching students how to setup and conduct EMS and OHS internal audits for over 20 years. Clients have appreciated us integrating their management system materials into our training programs so the students leave the course ready to start auditing.

We have developed both ONSITE and ONLINE Training Programs for both ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.


HYBRID – ONLINE Internal Auditor Training

It is always a challenge to make online auditor training as effective as in person classes. We have developed a HYBRID approach to our online training programs. Our classes will include the following:

  • Instructor Led Webinars allows direct student – instructor interaction
  • Video Lessons with workshops to insure engagement
  • Self-directed Workshops completed at YOUR facility

We then split the webinars up to allow students to better absorb the material and allow them to work at their own pace. We have developed the following online auditing programs:
