About the programme

Delivered with the Environmental Technology Centre of Industrial Collaboration (ETCIC), this course is designed to help staff within industries using chemicals to deal with Government regulations on the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH). This legislation has had a major impact on the global chemical industry. All chemicals manufactured and imported into Europe need to have a dossier showing REACH compliance. The course aims to provide an accredited qualification for staff working with REACH.

The programme has been extremely successful in attracting both those responsible for managing their organisation’s compliance with the new REACH legislation and environmental consultants who may be looking to gain expertise in this area. It is an exciting and unique opportunity for company members to understand exactly what REACH is about and how to comply with the new regulations. Delegates also gain proficiency in project management, public speaking and computer skills, while getting a great chance to network with some of the top business consultants and lecturers in REACH legislation.

Special features

The course offers what we believe to be the best and most comprehensive training in REACH that is currently available. It is delivered in a very flexible way: either by attendance at one-week full-time courses or by distance learning. This means that students can fit their studies around their home and work commitments. Even assessments can be taken online at a time to suit the student.

The Applied Research Project allows you to demonstrate the skills and knowledge gained on the course by applying them to an area of relevance to your own organisation.
