How you'll learn
Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making it easy to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Workiva, advanced Excel, Power BI, Python (pandas), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures for double materiality analysis, calculation of portfolio-related emissions and limited review of sustainability indicators. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.
