Course Description

BSI’s competency-based four-day training course combines the ISO 14001:2026 and ISO 45001:2018 Requirements TPECS course with the ISO 19011:2026 Management System Auditing (AU) TPECS Module. During the first three days, learners develop a practical understanding of environmental and occupational health and safety management systems, the clauses of both standards, and their application within an integrated management system. The course addresses current environmental conditions, lifecycle and value-chain considerations, leadership accountability, change management, measurable management-system outcomes, and the identification of nonconformities.

On the fourth day, learners apply ISO 19011:2026 auditing guidance as audit team members. Practical activities develop the skills needed to plan, conduct, report, and follow up audits while considering risk, opportunities, technology, remote auditing methods, and the organizational context in which audits are performed.
