Spatial Carbon Simulator Operation
Building on the cutting edge GEObjects Analytics program this course will support your country obtain the most out of the software package. Designed by the technicians who have built the Analytics Course the Spatial Carbon Simulator Operation program will look at both the reflective modelling and postulative modelling side of the program.
Strategic Carbon Management Course
In partnership with our education partner Carbon Trading International the Strategic Carbon Management course (previously known as a Certificate IV in Carbon Management) is designed to give you a clear and comprehensive understanding of how to performance manage carbon emissions in one accessible course.
Over 16 weeks you are taken through every essential area of managing CO2 emissions, from the basics of climate change and carbon accounting to Life Cycle Assessment and carbon offsetting. Week by week you apply what you have learnt and carry out workplace assessments using real data and interacting with your colleagues.
The qualification consists of 12 units
•Communicate climate change impacts and recognition of sources of greenhouse gases
•Measure carbon emissions in three scopes
•Evaluate carbon reduction and renewable energy options
•Assist implementation and monitoring of a Carbon Management Response Plan
•Measure and monitor a carbon footprint
•Source, evaluate and purchase carbon offsets
•Develop and communicate a workplace Carbon Management Response Plan
•Implement and monitor a Carbon Management Response Plan
•Complete a carbon Life Cycle Analysis for a product or service
•Evaluate, select and implement a greenhouse gas abatement program
•Market and promote a Carbon Management Response Plan and carbon emissions reduction claims
•Identify and evaluate opportunities for cogeneration, combined cooling, heating and power
Carbon Accounting
Identify and quantify the greenhouse gas emissions for your organisation in accordance with international accounting standards (GHG Protocol AS/ISO 14064.1-2006). This course will help you develop the technical knowledge and business skills critical for the effective implementation of carbon accounting within your organisation.
the course will take you though:
•The technical background to carbon footprinting
•Global warming potential and emissions scopes
•Accounting methodologies
•Overcoming data collection pitfalls
•Reporting; voluntary & compliance
•Standards and guidelines
•Capturing business benefits from intelligence tools
Carbon Offsets
Your carbon offset purchasing strategy should be fully considered, assessed and linked to a range of strategic drivers and targeted organisational objectives. The consequences of a carbon offsets purchase can have ramifications for the entire business. It should be a fully informed process for managing risks and aligning outcomes.
This course is designed for organisations interested in exploring the option of purchasing carbon offsets to reduce their emissions and / or becoming carbon neutral. By the end of this course, you will have a well-developed understanding of carbon offsetting that will allow you to make sound decisions to achieve your organisational objectives.
Lifecycle Assessment
Evaluate alternative product configuration and operational sourcing options in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Learn how to identify, calculate and prioritise emissions reduction opportunities.
Learn how to assess GHG emissions of an individual product, either a good or a service, across its entire life cycle – from raw materials through all stages of production (or service provision), distribution, use and disposal/recycling – in accordance with the method specified in the BSI Publicly Available Specification 2050:2008 ‘PAS 2050’.
Life cycle assessment can provide:
•Internal assessment of product life cycle GHG emissions
•Evaluation of alternative product configurations, operational and sourcing options, etc. on the basis of their impact on product GHG emissions
•A benchmark for measuring and communicating emission reductions
•Support for comparison of product GHG emissions using a common, recognised and standardised approach
•Support for Corporate Social Responsibility reporting
Operational Carbon Management
The Operational Carbon Management Course (previously known as the Certificate III in Carbon Management) is for operational staff. Developing carbon management skills will enable front line workers to recognise and support the operational improvements required by business today.
This competency-based course provides business with the critical green skills needed to identify and capture energy efficiency improvements and reduce carbon emissions from business operations.
Operational Carbon Management graduates develop skills and competencies to enable them to contribute to and carry out local implementation of a whole of organisation carbon reduction strategy developed by managers who have completed the Strategic Carbon Management Course.
