In-depth training in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Do you want to take your knowledge of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to the next level? Our in-depth training programme will provide you with in-depth insights into the methodology and practical applications of LCA.

Purpose

You will learn more about the possibilities and limitations of communicating LCA results, how LCA can be used in different contexts, what to consider when critically reviewing and communicating results, and what to consider when planning LCA projects. You will also have the opportunity to explore various methodological issues within LCA in depth, learn more about closely related methods and get an introduction to calculation tools and how these can support you in LCA projects.

RISE offers a flexible training concept that can be adapted to your needs, which can be given either in connection with our introductory training or as a stand-alone course. The standard version of the in-depth part is two half-days with own work in between, which gives you the opportunity to deepen your understanding of LCA as a tool. The course combines lectures, discussions and practical exercises to optimise your learning.

Target group

The course is aimed at those who want a deeper understanding of life cycle assessment and its applications. You can benefit from the course both as an LCA practitioner and project manager/client of an LCA.
