Carbon training led by real-world experience.
CTI is a practitioner-led carbon education business. Training is led by Winton Evers, CTI’s Lead Facilitator, drawing on experience across carbon accounting, financial systems, risk management, energy management, workplace safety and organisational implementation.
The aim is simple: help professionals understand the technical requirements, then give them practical ways to apply that knowledge inside real organisations.
From practical industry problems to carbon management.
Winton’s approach to carbon education was shaped long before he began teaching carbon management. It grew from working in industries where safety, resources, cost control and environmental impact all had to be managed in practical terms.
Before moving into carbon and energy management, Winton operated in the demolition industry. His former company, Becwins, maintained a building-materials recycling yard that recovered reusable materials which would otherwise have gone to landfill. Those reclaimed materials went on to be incorporated into homes across the Blue Mountains.
Working in a high-risk industry also made workplace safety a constant priority. Winton developed safer demolition methods and later became a TAFE facilitator in demolition supervision, asbestos awareness and construction induction.
When he encountered the GHG Accounting Standard, Winton saw a similar opportunity: organisations could improve both environmental and financial performance by understanding and managing the sources of their greenhouse gas emissions.
He completed CTI’s Certificate IV in Carbon Management in late 2010 and has since trained more than 100 students at Certificate IV level.
Carbon capability connected to the way organisations actually work.
CTI training is designed to bridge technical carbon requirements with financial, operational and management systems.
Carbon accounting with financial discipline
Winton applies his accounting background to carbon inventories, helping participants understand how carbon data can be organised with the same discipline used in financial and management accounting.
Risk and disclosure awareness
Training considers climate and sustainability-related risks, financial disclosure expectations and the need for information that can stand up to internal and external scrutiny.
Implementation over theory
The focus is on systems, data, boundaries, emission factors, decisions and practical implementation rather than abstract theory alone.
Lead facilitation with a consistent approach
As CTI’s Lead Facilitator, Winton helps provide continuity and a consistent teaching approach across the learning pathway, connecting concepts between courses and supporting CTI’s broader training delivery.
Where Winton’s experience shows up in the classroom.
Carbon accounting systems
Aligning carbon-accounting processes with financial and management-accounting processes, including Winton’s concept of a carbon balance sheet.
Climate and sustainability risk
Developing risk-management systems that help organisations respond to financial-disclosure requirements and customer expectations.
Energy and environmental performance
Connecting emissions information with practical opportunities to improve energy efficiency, resource use and organisational performance.
Collaboration across disciplines
Recognising that successful carbon projects often require finance, sustainability, engineering, operations, management and other disciplines to work together.
Putting energy knowledge to work beyond the classroom.
Winton is Treasurer of Sunshine Project for Community Inc, an ACNC-registered charity that helps fund renewable-energy systems for not-for-profit organisations supporting people in need.
Sunshine Project also runs community energy workshops designed to help people understand practical ways to reduce their energy bills.
