One of the challenges organizations will face is how to determine the competency of staff and/or consultants engaged to compile GHG inventories. Another is how to evaluate the credentials of staff and consultants who provide GHG professional services. Who is qualified to quantify and verify GHG reports? A Certified GHG Professional mitigates these concerns by engaging professionals who have earned a personnel certification to a program that has been developed through an impartial, independent and industry-supported process. These professional credentials validate that an individual has the knowledge, skills and competencies to perform a specific job function.

The Certificate in GHG Inventory, Accounting and Reporting course prepares you to undertake the CSA Standards GHG Inventory Quantifier examination. This preparatory program will review all examination topics and will reinforce the fundamentals of planning, calculating, managing and reporting GHG inventories through practical examples.

Based on key protocols and standards such as the World Resources Institute / World Business Council on Sustainable Development’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol, this course includes the requirements of inventory quantification, quality management and reporting.

No Pre-requisite is required and you need not have an environmental background to take this course. Your in-class experience will be supplemented with required and recommended reading prior to the start of the course.

Attendees who successfully complete the CSA exam will receive GHG Inventory Quantifier Certification. A Certificate of Completion from the University of Toronto is issued on completion of this course.
