Upcoming course dates
The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) promotes sustainable development through training to enable improved environmental practice and performance. As an approved training partner, we at Bywater have demonstrated the ability to deliver training that can make a real difference to organisations, and as a result can benefit from the support services provided by IMEA.
This carbon footprinting course is designed to complement our 2-day IEMA certified Pathways to Zero training course. The two courses are scheduled to run together in our training calendar.
We additionally offer other IEMA approved training courses on waste management, sustainability skills for the workforce and for management, and a Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management.
While not a requirement, it will help understanding if delegates already have some knowledge of environmental issues and their management. Practical experience is an advantage.
Our IEMA certified Pathways to Net Zero training course is scheduled to run in the 2 days following this course, and offers an explanation of net zero and ways to reduce emissions.
Carbon quantification refers to the process of measuring and determining the amount or concentration of carbon, typically in various forms, within a given sample or system. Many businesses conduct carbon quantification to assess their environmental impact, comply with regulations, and implement sustainability initiatives.
Yes, if you complete the course you will receive a certificate which you can share with your employer and colleagues, add to your CV, and upload to professional platforms such as LinkedIn. The certificate demonstrates your commitment to continuing education and your new knowledge about the increasingly important topic of carbon management.
