Description

This qualification specifies the skills and knowledge required to measure current sustainability performance across an organisation and to establish processes for improved sustainability performance.

It applies to job roles with a focus on sustainability and a managerial or technician level of responsibility, authority and autonomy who will liaise with senior management and other stakeholders to drive and influence change across an organisation.

This qualification has no formal entry requirement due to the wide variety of sustainability applications in industry. However, most enterprises will expect the learner to hold operational or technical skills and experience in a vocational field, and the qualification is not recommended for direct entry from school.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
