Environmental assessment is a crucial skill for anyone wanting to undertake environmental research. Work in this sector has developed dramatically in recent years, and the skill is in demand! This course is ideal for those wanting to take the first step towards a career as an environmental consultant, or as a professional development course for those who are skilled in this area but would like to ‘sell’ their expertise effectively.
The Certificate of Environmental Assessment is an online professional development program that will teach you how to use your knowledge of plant or animal identification and ecology to undertake and leverage environmental research.
In this environmental assessment course, you will study the basics of environmental study design, analysis, and reporting within a legal framework; and the assessment techniques that have been developed and used around the world.
You will also learn about report structure, presentation and layout, and review and leverage a variety of Environmental Impact Statements.
On completion of this course, you will be able to undertake your own environmental research assessment project and present it as a professional report to test your skills as a (soon to be!) environmental consultant.
Printed learning materials may be available free to print for this course. Requests can be made by contacting us.
