Integrated Professional Program
Carbon Accounting & Offsetting
Build practical capability in organisational carbon accounting and carbon offsetting through one integrated professional pathway.
This program combines CTI's complete Carbon Accounting foundation with the additional specialist learning required to understand carbon offsets, carbon markets, offset quality and the appropriate role of offsets within a broader organisational carbon-management strategy.
The full 8-unit program begins with CTI's shared Carbon Accounting intake. Choose the next available intake when enrolling. Live session times are arranged with participants before commencement so CTI can find a time that works reasonably well for the group.
Already completed CTI Carbon Accounting?
You only need the 3 additional offsetting learning units.
Eligible CTI Carbon Accounting graduates do not repeat the first five learning units. Your completed learning carries forward, so you can progress directly into the additional offsetting content required to complete the 8-unit integrated pathway. Contact CTI to arrange the next suitable progression into these three units.

Program structure
Eight connected learning units without unnecessary repetition.
Each learning unit includes approximately 1.5 hours of live online teaching supported by CTI workbooks, practical examples and course materials. Session times are arranged with participants before commencement.
How the integrated pathway works
The first five learning units are CTI's Carbon Accounting foundation. Participants then complete three additional offsetting learning units.
The standalone Carbon Offsetting course contains four learning units. One of those units includes foundation learning already covered within Carbon Accounting, which is why eligible Carbon Accounting graduates complete only the three additional units. Standalone Carbon Offsetting has separate commencement arrangements and does not use the shared Carbon Accounting intake dates.
If you only need the accounting foundation, you can begin with Carbon Accounting. If you only need specialist offsetting learning, view the Carbon Offsetting course.
Continue your learning
Progress into Strategic Carbon Management.
Carbon Accounting & Offsetting forms the 8-unit foundation of CTI's Strategic Carbon Management pathway.
After completing this 8-unit program, participants need only 2 additional strategic learning units to complete CTI's 10-unit Strategic Carbon Management program.
