Training

Course list

We are really proud of our environmental courses. Training is the first step to implementing a sustainable business – this applies to all parts of the organisation, from the CEO and board, to the technical specialist and to general staff too.

This has been recognised in the feedback we have received from our delegates and also externally – for example our IEMA Foundation Certificate received a ‘Silver Award’ in the E-learning awards for 2011. We make sure that we cover key issues, legal compliance requirements and the opportunities that good environmental management presents.

Whatever your preferred choice of training Workplace Law is passionate about making sure that the training works for you. We listen to your feedback and continue to work hard to give you the very best possible experience. 

Here you can find out about the different environmental courses that we offer as well as explanations of the variety of options available when studying with us.

Study modes

We offer four study modes to suit the needs of any individual or organisation. 

Classroom

Classroom learning gives you the benefit of face to face tutor support throughout the programme and the opportunity to network with other students.

E-learning

Our interactive and award winning e-learning courses allow you to study wherever you want, whenever you want and at your own pace. You also still receive tutor support throughout and can network with fellow students through our online forums.

In 2011 our IOSH Managing Safely and IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management were both shortlisted in the E-learning Ages Awards against a very competitive field, with our IEMA certificate given a ‘silver award’ – something we are extremely proud of!

Fast-track 

Fast-track training allows you to gain accreditation in the fastest possible way through intensive blocks of classroom learning.

Blended 

Our blended courses offer a mixture of classroom based and online learning so you have flexibility and less time of the office but you also still receive face to face tutor support.
