The NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management (EC) syllabus is
designed for managers, supervisors and employees, who have responsibility for
managing environment issues as part of their day to day duties. It also
provides a sound basis for progression on to the NEBOSH National Diploma in
Environmental Management. The course will benefit companies seeking to
implement effective environmental management systems, and is relevant to all
industry sectors. The Certificate in Environmental Management has been
accepted by CIWEM (The Chartered Institution of Water & Environmental
Management) to meet the requirements for Technician Membership (TechCIWEM).
