Reviews
I have been in the manufacturing industry over the years, but I have never had a thorough understanding of how environmental management systems actually work in real-time. When I joined the ISO 14001 - Environmental Management Lead Auditor course with Vinsys, it changed my situation. The live sessions were exciting, and the trainer clearly explained each concept with practical examples from the industry. I am now much more competent when dealing with compliance requirements in the workplace.
Abdullahi OyelekeProcess improvement professionals
Frankly speaking, I believed that ISO certifications were too theoretical, but this course showed me that I was wrong. Vinsys provided interactive classes, doubt clearing classes and also detailed study material, which made concepts very easy to learn. Their revision support was also excellent; their revision timetable enabled me to go through all the material in a well-structured way, and never felt overwhelmed by it.

I signed up for this course because I wanted to contribute to my company's sustainability efforts, and I am glad I did. Vinsys trainers are knowledgeable and approachable, and their teaching method extends beyond slides and definitions. I appreciated how they taught both operational controls and performance evaluations. I am already putting into practice what I learned in our upcoming EMS audit prep.

I recommend it to all individuals in environmental compliance and sustainability roles.
