After completing the course, you will have a holistic overview of climate change, climate accounting and climate strategy. You will have mastered methods for preparing greenhouse gas balances and for implementing climate management and monitoring in organizations. You will also be familiar with the applicable regulators and requirements for your company, the challenges for urban planning and how to deal with AI and the public.

You will then learn how to plan and implement an occupational health and safety management system. You will be familiar with the relevant occupational health and safety regulations and will be able to use the right tools and methods safely. You will also be able to integrate the occupational health and safety management system into other management systems in accordance with the Harmonized Structure (HS).

Specialists and managers from various sectors, those responsible for environmental, energy, occupational health and safety or sustainability management, as well as future, appointed or existing climate protection officers.

Climate change, increasing scarcity of energy and raw materials and higher costs for resources are increasing the need for sustainable solutions. Companies are therefore increasingly looking for specialists in climate protection management who can develop strategies to reduce energy consumption, improve environmental footprints and implement sustainable concepts.

The additional qualification as an occupational health and safety management officer opens up career opportunities in larger companies or public institutions, health insurance companies or health service providers.

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.
