ISO 14064 Internal Auditor Training
About This Course
The ISO 14064 Internal Auditor Training course equips learners with the essential skills to design, document, and evaluate greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and verification processes in compliance with ISO 14064:2018 and globally recognized verification protocols. By diving deep into lifecycle analysis, emissions boundary setting, and quantification techniques, learners will gain the technical proficiency to create robust GHG reports and propose credible carbon mitigation strategies. Participants will also gain hands-on experience in building lifecycle inventories and applying data-driven approaches to performance benchmarking and audit preparation.
This course directly addresses the growing industry demand for professionals who can interpret and apply GHG verification standards in operational contexts. It is especially valuable for those working in manufacturing, supply chain management, energy, or consulting roles where carbon reporting and sustainability assessments are critical. Learners who complete this training will be equipped to support internal auditing functions, contribute to ESG compliance efforts, and lead initiatives that align with climate action goals — offering strong potential for career advancement or job role transitions into sustainability-focused positions.
Targeted at intermediate learners, the course is designed for individuals who already have some familiarity with environmental management systems, auditing, or sustainability reporting. Whether you're looking to formalize your GHG auditing skills or expand your expertise in carbon footprint evaluation, this course builds on foundational knowledge and introduces advanced concepts through case-based learning, real-world scenarios, and the use of quantification software. While prior experience with ISO 14001 or lifecycle assessments is helpful, it is not a strict requirement for successful participation.
