After completing the course, you will have a holistic overview of climate change, the analysis of CO₂ pollution and climate strategy. You will have mastered methods for creating a greenhouse gas balance sheet and implementing climate management and monitoring in organizations. You will also know the applicable regulations and requirements for your company, the challenges for urban planning and how to deal with AI and the public.
Furthermore, after completing the course, you will be able to plan, implement, and further develop an occupational safety and health management system. You will be familiar with relevant occupational safety and health regulations, able to confidently use appropriate tools and methods, and capable of integrating the occupational safety and health management system based on the Harmonized Structure (HS) into other management systems.

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.
Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
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.
