In an area where there are many people calling themselves “experts”, I sincerely hope a course such as this becomes the minimum standard for GHG Auditors worldwide.

“Taking the Basics of Organizational GHG Accounting course was a very productive experience for me. As a first time e-student, I was a little skeptical of the efficacy of this format, but the dynamic pace and the user-friendliness of the online lessons were a good surprise. The hands on calculation exercises made the connection between the theory behind GHG accounting and practical issues encountered in the actual process. The questions from students posted online where helpful by exposing real problems and dilemmas faced by inventory managers from different countries, backgrounds and contexts.”

“While there is a lot of media coverage on climate change, I found the course (Basics of Organizational GHG Accounting) gave me a practical understanding of climate change and how to calculate a GHG Inventory. The examples of what companies have been doing in different parts of the world were interesting and gave the theory a practical edge. The on-line teaching method was easy to follow and the prompt feedback to questions was appreciated. I recommend the course to anyone looking to understand how to account for GHG, especially for those countries which have or are moving to have an Emissions Trading Scheme or are in companies which wish to take advantage of such schemes.”
