Training in ISO 14001
Training for ISO 14001 Lead Persons
ISO 14001 Lead Persons (or “MRs”) need the most in-depth training in ISO 14001 as their responsibility is the documentation, implementation and maintenance of the ISO 14001 environmental management system (EMS), as well as being a liaison with the ISO 14001 registrar (the accredited entity that issues the ISO 14001 certificate). In other words, the ISO 14001 Lead Person is the company's ISO 14001 specialist who requires training in all aspects of ISO 14001 ranging from documentation to implementation to certification.
ISO 14001:2015 Auditor Training (e-learning online)
We recommend this interactive e-Learning Online course to all ISO 14001 Lead Persons (even if they are not involved in auditing!) because it provides the right level of in-depth training in ISO 14001:2015 requirements and other pertinent aspects of ISO 14001:2015 to enable the ISO 14001 Lead Person to implement ISO 14001:2015 and act as the company's ISO 14001 point person. Even though this online course is called "ISO 14001:2015 Auditor Training", it is just as well suited for those implementing ISO 14001.
Training for ISO 14001 Auditors
Internal ISO 14001 auditors are responsible to periodically check if the company's environmental management system (EMS) meets all ISO 14001 requirements. It is, therefore, very important that internal ISO 14001 auditors thoroughly understand the ISO 14001 requirements, as well as how to effectively audit them. Our editor recommends that all ISO 14001 auditors take both of the following courses as they complement each other:

(1) to make an informed decision about the implementation of ISO 14001 at the company – after all, it's a rather important business decision with wide-ranging implications on the company, and
(2) to make the best use of the ISO 14001 environmental management system – it's an operational tool for management to use.

We recommend this concise e-Learning Online course to all members of upper management because it provides the necessary knowledge of ISO 14001, its effect on the company, as well as top management's required involvement with ISO 14001 in the shortest amount of time.
ISO 14001 Courses for Middle Management
Most of the burden - and most of the benefits! - of ISO 14001 rest on middle management as they need to...
(1) understand the concepts of ISO 14001,
(2) recognize the benefits that they can gain through the ISO 14001 environmental management system,
