A 1-day ISEP (formerly IEMA) course giving your whole workforce a practical introduction to environmental sustainability — the knowledge and motivation to make a measurable difference. Delivered in-company, UK-wide.
Skills for the Workforce is delivered in-company — train a whole team or department together in a single day, on dates that suit you.
ISEP Environmental Sustainability Skills for the Workforce is a 1-day course from ISEP — the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals, formerly IEMA. It gives employees at every level a practical introduction to environmental sustainability, with no prior knowledge needed. It is assessed by an online multiple-choice test and leads to an ISEP certificate.
Developed in response to the climate emergency, it is designed to give everyone in an organisation a shared baseline of environmental understanding — and the motivation to act on it. It builds awareness of sustainability issues, compliance obligations and the practical changes individuals can make, and it is the foundation that the 2-day Skills for Managers course builds on. KeyOstas delivers it as an ISEP-approved training partner, in-company at your premises or as a live virtual classroom.
This is the entry-level course in the ISEP range — built for breadth of reach. If you need manager-level depth or a full qualification, a different course fits better.
By the end of the day every delegate will understand why sustainability matters and what they can practically do about it in their own role.
Understand the basics of environmental sustainability and why it matters in the modern workplace.
Identify critical environmental issues — climate change, resource depletion and pollution.
Understand the business drivers for change and the compliance obligations behind them.
Identify the environmental and economic risks and opportunities relevant to the business.
Apply practical techniques to reduce waste, improve recycling and use resources more efficiently.
See how individual behaviour and engagement improve the organisation’s environmental performance.
The programme is set by ISEP and delivered through tutor-led sessions and practical activities, organised around four themes.
Assessment is short and built into the day — there is nothing to revise in advance.
At the end of the course delegates complete a short online multiple-choice assessment covering the day’s material. It confirms understanding rather than testing recall under pressure.
The day is interactive — tutor-led sessions plus practical activities and workshops that make the learning concrete and relevant to your workplace.
The two skills courses are designed to work together. Here is how they differ.
