At EcoEvents it is our aim to help our clients improve their environmental practice and performance and to promote sustainable development. One of the ways in which we achieve this is through the provision of a range of high quality accredited training courses to equip staff members with environmental knowledge and skills to make a practical difference in the workplace.

To complement our existing bespoke training courses in System Development and Company induction Training we are now offering two new CIEH (Chartered Institute of Environmental Health) registered accredited training courses;

• CIEH Level 2 Award – Environmental Principles & Best Practice– A one-day course giving an introduction to environmental issues.
• CIEH Environmental Management Certificate – A more in-depth five-day course, where participants will gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues.

These courses will be carried out at your location and at your convenience and will provide staff members with CIEH recognised qualifications.
