The Aarcher Institute’s three-day Environmental Compliance Training Workshop™ was developed in response to requests of commercial, industrial, and Federal personnel responsible for implementing environmental procedures, policies, and protocols at their facilities. This course has been presented and continually refreshed for individual clients and is now available for open enrollment.
This course is designed for commercial, industrial, and Federal facility personnel, corporate staff, and line managers who need an awareness-level overview of key environmental compliance and management issues and priorities, presented in an easy-to-understand manner.
“We are pleased to bring this course to our
open enrollment students in 2012.”

“[Instructor] was engaging and kept it interesting.”
