ISO 14001 Foundation — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you run live or in-person classes for this course?

This course is sold as self-paced study, but yes — we also deliver it live. Aegentra runs instructor-led cohorts with a certified PECB trainer, and in-person classroom sessions at our Melbourne and Sydney CBD offices. For enterprise teams we deliver on-site at your office on a schedule that suits you. Live and in-person pricing depends on cohort size and the standard, so it is quoted rather than listed — email Academy@aegentra.com.au with your headcount and preferred dates and we will come back with a quote.

What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems. It sets requirements for identifying environmental aspects and impacts, meeting compliance obligations, controlling operations that affect the environment, preparing for environmental emergencies, and continually improving environmental performance.

Which edition does this course cover?

This course is delivered against ISO 14001:2026, and the credential is titled Certificate Holder in ISO 14001:2026 Foundation. If you hold a credential against an earlier edition, or need certainty for a certification programme already underway, contact us and we will confirm the position with PECB.

Is this course available with eLearning?

No. ISO 14001 Foundation is offered as slide-based self-study only at $800 + GST.

Do I need any experience to take this course?

No. There are no prerequisites to participate, and the certificate requires no professional experience and no EMS project experience. Complete the course, pass the exam, apply for the certificate, and sign the PECB Code of Ethics.

How is the exam structured?

One hour, covering two competency domains: fundamental principles and concepts of an environmental management system, and the ISO 14001 requirements for an EMS. Pass mark is 70%.

What exactly is included in the price?

For courses delivered by a PECB partner, the training fee covers the first exam attempt, one free retake, the certification application fee, and the first year of the Annual Maintenance Fee. For self-study, that cycle must be completed within 12 months of the purchase date.

What credential do I receive?

Certificate Holder in ISO 14001:2026 Foundation. This is an entry-level credential and a certificate program under ANSI/ASTM E2659 rather than an ISO/IEC 17024 certification — the distinction PECB draws between a "certificate holder" and a "certified" professional.

How does ISO 14001 relate to ISO 9001 and ISO 45001?

All three share the Annex SL high-level structure — context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, improvement. Organisations commonly run quality, environment, and safety as a single integrated management system rather than three parallel ones, which is why HSEQ roles often ask for more than one credential.

What CPD credits do I earn?

Fourteen CPD credits — an attestation of course completion is awarded on finishing the course. These count toward the CPD requirements of professional bodies on submission.

Is GST included in the price?

No. Prices are shown exclusive of GST. Australian GST is calculated and added at checkout, and Stripe issues a compliant tax invoice with our ABN automatically.

Can my employer pay or reimburse?

Yes. Either complete checkout yourself and forward the Stripe tax invoice for reimbursement, or write to Academy@aegentra.com.au and we will issue an invoice direct to your organisation with payment terms. Groups of five or more receive a discount.

When can I start the course?

Immediately after payment. The Academy team confirms your seat with PECB and you receive login details by email — usually within one business day.

How long do I have access to the course?

You have 12 months of access from enrolment. That window covers the course material, the official PECB exam, and one free resit if you need it.

What if I fail the exam?

One PECB-issued resit is included in your enrolment at no extra cost. Most learners who use the included study materials and sit the resit within 30 days pass on their second attempt.

Can my employer be invoiced directly?

Yes. Either complete the checkout yourself and forward the Stripe tax invoice to your employer for reimbursement, or write to Academy@aegentra.com.au and we will issue an invoice to your organisation with payment terms.

Is the credential recognised internationally?

Yes. PECB is an accredited certification body recognised globally. The credential is the same one issued through any authorised PECB training partner — recognised by employers, audit bodies, and government tenders worldwide.

Do you offer group bookings for teams?

Yes. Groups of five or more receive a discount and can be enrolled with a single invoice. Write to Academy@aegentra.com.au with the course, number of seats, and start window.

What is your refund policy?

All enrolments are non-refundable. Once payment is confirmed your PECB seat is provisioned and the course materials become available, so refunds cannot be issued. Please review the course details carefully before purchase, and email Academy@aegentra.com.au if you have questions before enrolling.
