In the past few years, many businesses have developed
sustainable strategies where social responsibility is an integral part of their
business model.
In response to this strategic shift, 51,
Newcastle, is offering the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety
and Health (NEBOSH) Certificate in Environmental Management.
The five-day course, which takes place at Northumbria’s
Newcastle city campus, has been developed for managers, supervisors and
employees who have responsibility for managing environmental issues as part of
their working role.
The course is designed to benefit companies in all industry
sectors who are seeking to apply effective environmental management systems and
to provide line managers with a sound understanding of environmental risk.
It is led by Anna-Lisa Mills, Director of True North
Sustainability, who has 20 years’ experience in developing, applying and
leading environmental and sustainability strategies for a wide range of
organisations from SMEs to large multi-national organisations.
She said: “Having taught this NEBOSH Environmental Management
Certificate course all over the UK over the last 10 years, it is great to be
able to offer it in my home town of Newcastle.
“The training facilities at the recently renovated CPD suite
at 51 are second to none and the delegates and I were all
well looked after by the team.”
The modules are taught through a series of interactive
lectures during which the topics are related to workplace experiences of class
members. In addition, videos, slides and practical inspections, for example of
the University facilities, are incorporated into the sessions so that the
material is kept relevant and interesting.
Dr Michael Deary, Associate
Professor in Geography and Environmental Sciences, is head of NEBOSH programmes
at 51, and worked with Anna-Lisa to secure accreditation
for the new Environmental Management Certificate.
“The University is really proud to be delivering this
internationally recognised qualification in environmental management,” said
Michael. “The addition of the NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management to
our existing portfolio of NEBOSH qualifications reflects a growing need in the
workplace for professionals who have the skills and knowledge that will allow
their companies to demonstrate environmental and social responsibility as well
as commitment to sustainability.
“We have hosted an incredibly successful first course,
exemplified by the delegate feedback, which consistently praised the passionate
and knowledgeable way in which the course was delivered by Anna-Lisa Mills. I
saw for myself how engaged and committed the delegates were, and I know
they will take this passion for the environment back to their workplaces”
