Once you have completed the course, you will be able to manage a QM system and have professional knowledge in the application of DIN EN ISO 9001. You will also be able to plan and set up an occupational health and safety management system and integrate it into other management systems in accordance with the Harmonized Structure. Furthermore, you will be able to assess risks in accordance with European and German environmental law and take measures to meet all technical and organizational requirements of a company in the area of environmental protection. You will be qualified to implement, operate and evaluate environmental management systems in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 and energy management systems. Finally, you will be able to plan, implement, audit and continuously improve an integrated management system (IMS).
You will also be prepared for your duties as a compliance officer. You know the basics of company law and can thus minimize liability risks. You will also be familiar with the requirements of a compliance management system.
This course is primarily aimed at management representatives from the areas of quality, environment, energy and occupational health and safety who wish to expand their area of activity.
As a representative for integrated management systems, you will bring together different requirements from quality, environmental, occupational health and safety and energy management systems in a uniform structure, enabling more efficient management. This makes you interesting for both large and medium-sized companies in industry, trade and the service sector, as well as for organizations and authorities. Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and facilitates your career entry and advancement.
The compliance officer's area of responsibility is growing all the time. Companies in the banking and financial services, insurance and service industries are therefore increasingly reliant on their services. Compliance officers are also increasingly sought after in public administrations, associations and some organizations and corporations.
After the course, you will be able to demonstrate your new skills with a TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification.

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
