Study requirements

The workshops are spread out to enable you to gather data from your workplace in between sessions to enable you to build a working Carbon Management Response Plan.
In addition to attending the face-to-face workshops, you will need to complete up to 15 hours of workplace activities, along with research and assessment tasks each week for the duration of the workshops - a lot of this time will be engaging with colleagues and carrying out research at your workplace. You will be given a further 4 weeks to pull together all your coursework after the completion of the workshops in order to finalise your working Carbon Management Response Plan.

To support your study you will be given a log in account to the Carbon Training International e-Learning platform for the duration of your course to enable you to access your class notes and resources on the go.
