The ISEP (formerly IEMA) Environmental Sustainability Skills for the Workforce course is perfect for those working in any job role across all sectors, to ensure that environmental sustainability is embedded into all job roles of a company. 

The course covers the main environmental risks and opportunities facing organisations; the importance of resource efficiency; the impacts of pollution, prevention, control and legislation; the impact of transport; and knowing how employees can support environmental sustainability.

This 1-day course is ideally suited for those working in any job role across all sectors and has no formal entry requirements. It is benchmarked against the Level 2 RQF descriptors and supports iiE Green Champions and wider staff with attaining core environmental awareness.

SUBSIDISED ISEP PATHWAYS TO NET ZERO TRAINING (2 DAY) - 12th and 13th November 2025

The ISEP (Formerly IEMA) Pathways to Net Zero course gives clear, consistent guidance on best practice in response to the climate crisis. The course aims to provide supervisors and leaders with a strategic and operational overview of environmental sustainability as it affects your specific industry and work area.

This 2-day course is ideally suited for supervisors and managers across all sectors and has no formal entry requirements; however, it is strongly preferred that the candidate is in a practising role that will allow them to deeply understand the areas explored over the duration of the course. Learners will get to grips with what makes a robust net zero claim, greenhouse gas accounting, frameworks, and decarbonisation planning.
