Who is this training suitable for?
        
This training is suitable for professionals who have already completed ISO 14001:2015 EMS Auditor or Lead Auditor training and want to update their knowledge on ISO 14001:2026. It is not a full Lead Auditor course and not an auditor conversion course — it is a focused transition/update course that explains the key changes and what auditors should focus on.
        
Content adapted from 3FOLD Training's ISO 14001:2026 transition course materials.
      
      

        
Is this a CQI IRCA certified course?
        
No. This training is independently delivered by 3FOLD Training, a CQI IRCA Approved Training Partner. CQI and IRCA do not offer a separate certified transition course for this update; however, Approved Training Partners may provide update training for CPD purposes. Learners who hold a CQI IRCA certified ISO 14001:2015 EMS Lead Auditor certificate can use this course as supporting CPD evidence.
        
Confirm the current CQI IRCA position with your certification body if in doubt.
