The courses given to businesses are aimed at either managerial and administrative staff, or at workers and technical personnel.
The courses for workers and technical staff tend to be more specialized and are frequently preceded by an analysis of operations relevant to their job functions.

The course is then developed and dwells on means of prevention, reduction or elimination of environmental impacts.
