The sustainable development models and the need to address environmental issues justify the training of professionals capable of analysing the complex relationships between the natural and human components of organisations and territories. These professionals are equipped with technical skills for environmental management, including planning, design and operation of environmental technologies, aimed at safeguarding the quality of the environment and life.
In this context, the Higher Professional Technical Course in Environmental Quality and Management is designed to educate professionals who can play an active role in implementing models, tools and evaluation processes. These professionals will be equipped to plan and manage the environment across various entities, activities and regions, with an emphasis on enhancing eco-efficiency, elevating environmental standards and fostering economic growth in both organisations and broader areas.
This course also aims to contribute to the following professional qualifications, as it provides the necessary vocational training required for working as: i) internal environmental auditors ISO 14001; ii) verifiers of the safety management system of higher risk establishments (Ordinance No. 966/2007, of 22 August); iii) environmental verifiers, under Regulation (EC) No. 1221/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 25 November 2009; iv) CELE verifiers / RCLE-EU auditor, under Regulation (EU) No. 600/2012 of the Commission, of 21 June 2012, related to the verification of greenhouse gas emission reports.
