LCA 101 On Demand
This on demand course is designed for those with little to no background in life cycle assessment (LCA).
This course will go over life cycle thinking as well as the four phases of an LCA: Goal & Scope, Inventory analysis, Impact assessment, and Interpretation. The course does not involve building a model in SimaPro.
This course is intended for anyone who needs to know the basics of LCA, not necessarily as a future practitioner. Your instructor will be an experienced LCA/SimaPro professional.

Helpful Tips:
We recommend heading over to our course calendar and adding the respective course to you calendar.
The class will meet online on Zoom. Upon completion of course prework and signing the policy agreement, you will gain access to the Zoom, the course slide deck, and additional course content. We recommend using the course slide deck for note taking. These prove to be a great help when conducting your future LCAs.
The best set up for taking the class is to have one monitor to view the course slide deck and another running your LCA software tool to follow your instructor and gain hands on experience. If you would like to take the class but do not have access to software, we will provide you with a temporary SimaPro license.
