  • 1.  ISO 14001:2026 Transition Course - Environmental Management Systems

    Posted 04-12-2026 08:46 PM

    For those already working with ISO 14001:2015, the team at Auditor Training Online has been busy prioritising content especially for you! Our ISO 14001:2026 Transition Course is designed to help you update your competence without having to repeat a full qualification.

    This course is built for existing ISO 14001 auditors, implementers, consultants, and environmental professionals who need to understand what is changing, what those changes mean in practice, and how to apply them with confidence as the revised standard is released.

    Rather than starting again, this upgrade focuses specifically on the gaps between ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 14001:2026, so you can stay current, support transition planning, and continue making sound audit and conformity decisions throughout the transition period.

    It is also being developed to align with the final publication (not the FDIS, so you wont need to update your update to remain competent) and EG TPECS expectations, giving everyone a clearer pathway for maintaining competence as the revised requirements come into effect.

    You can register your interest here: https://auditortrainingonline.com/home/course/iso-14001-2026-upgrade of contact our team via the same link for more information.

    ****
    We'll also be releasing similar transition courses for the upcoming ISO 19011 and ISO 9001 revisions. As with ISO 14001, these courses are being developed to align with TPECS so certification bodies and professionals can update competence in a practical, structured way.

    Thanks for sharing this update. It's great to see practical transition training being developed to help existing professionals stay current without repeating a full qualification, and I'm sure many in the community working with ISO 14001 will find this very useful.

    Hi Kelly,

    I wanted to complete this course as I am already qualified as an Environmental Lead Auditor. However, because I completed my previous training and Lead Auditor certification with the certification body I worked for previously, rather than through Exemplar Global, I was advised that I could not undertake this training.

    It is quite disappointing that I was recommended to complete the ISO 14001:2015 Lead Auditor course again, despite already being qualified and having audited many organisations against the standard, simply to be eligible for the Transition course.

    Hi Edna,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand your disappointment, particularly given your existing experience as an Environmental Lead Auditor and your history auditing organisations against ISO 14001.

    The prerequisites for this transition course have been set in line with our Exemplar Global TPECS compliance obligations. Under the transition course arrangement, the course is intended for students who can provide evidence of previous competency in Environmental Management Systems auditing, specifically Exemplar Global EM Environmental Management Systems certification, or an IRCA equivalent, issued to the ISO 14001:2015 revision.

    This is not intended to disregard your experience or existing qualifications. Rather, we need to ensure that any student admitted to the transition course meets the eligibility requirements that allow us to issue the Certificate of Attainment in a way that remains compliant with Exemplar Global's requirements.

    I believe one of my team members mentioned that, if you are able to provide a copy of your Exemplar Global personnel certification, we can review it and, if needed, verify with Exemplar Global whether it is sufficient for both you and ATOL to meet the relevant compliance obligations.

    Please feel free to send through any supporting certification evidence you have, and we can look into this further for you.

    Kind Regards
    Kelly Taylor
