The Environmental Health and Safety Management Certificate Program is a 96-hour program designed for individuals who are responsible for environmental and/or safety compliance of their facility or for persons who wish to move into such a position. While not a degree, earning this certificate illustrates your dedication to becoming more knowledgeable in the EH&S field and valuable to your organization. Individuals will study requirements of OSHA, EPA, NCDENR, DOT and ISO and learn to manage their personnel and facilities in pursuit of compliance/conformance with these standards. Students will complete the program in two semesters, one night per week.
