The On Demand course is administered via the LTS website. It is a pre-recorded course administered by one of our Sustainability Consultants. The course is broken up into bite-size recordings with ungraded mini-quizzes throughout. A final quiz is administered at the end of the course, where an 80% passing grade is required to receive your certificate. Attendees will be given free access to SimaPro for the duration of the course. To register for our on-demand course, please visit our website. This is a great way to take the course if you live outside of North, Central, and South America since you will not have to worry about the time zone.
The LIVE course is administered over Zoom by one of our Sustainability Analysts or Consultants. It’s held during EST business hours. The course consists of three, 3-hour sessions held over the course of three successive weeks, for a total of nine hours. A final quiz is administered at the end of the course. Attendees will be given free access to SimaPro for the duration of the course. To register for one of our live courses, please complete the form and submit to [email protected].
