Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can we utilise Skills Future credits to offset the fees of these courses?
Answer: No, the courses are not covered under the Skills Future program.
If we go for the 3-Day Internal Auditor course, is there a need to attend the 1-Day Awareness course since the topics are covered on Day 1?
Answer:
No, as the Internal Auditor (IA) course will cover all the topics taught in the Awareness course. Our IA course is more suitable for existing sustainability practitioners as the topics covered from Day 2 will be more technical and thus might not be suitable for individuals without prior background knowledge. Awareness course would be more suitable for designers (systems/projects) and purchasers to account for and report Scope 3 – Category 1 emissions.
Are we given hands-on practice on inventory analyses? What case study will be used?
Answer:
Yes, there will be both theory and application. A variety of case studies focusing on products will be used. Though it may not be specific for your sector, the knowledge gained from all the principles taught can be transferred and applied in your daily work.
For Internal Auditor course, what is the purpose of ISO 14064-3 and how does it relate to other ISO standards taught in this course?
Answer:
ISO14040 gives an introduction on the concept of an LCA and procedures whereas ISO14044 will deep dive into LCA procedures. ISO14025 gives the specification on the procedures to develop environmental declaration for product – environmental product declaration or most widely known as EPD. ISO14064-3 is the international standard used for practitioners to validate and verify GHG.
What does obtaining a cert of attainment for LCA Internal Auditor course means for our trainees?
Answer:
