The
Management Charter Initiative NTO produced the National Occupational
Standards for Environmental Managers at Level 4. These standards
lay down the competencies to evaluate of existing environmental
performance, gain commitment and support for improving environment
performance, plan to improve environment performance, develop
and maintain an environment policy, audit environment performance,
and communicate with interested parties.

If
a manager was implementing an environment management system,
they should be able to demonstrate competence to these standards.
But many people who are involved in environment improvement
would not be in a sufficient managerial position to gain the
evidence to demonstrate the required competencies.
There are many professional qualifications for would be environmental
managers, in particular there are the IEMA courses which can
add up to becoming an Associate Member of IEMA.
