Specialist Professional Course
Carbon Offsetting
Understand carbon offsets, carbon markets and how offsets can be used appropriately within a broader carbon-management strategy.
Build practical understanding of carbon offsets, carbon-market mechanisms, offset methodologies, quality, additionality and integrity, and learn how to evaluate the appropriate role of offsets within organisational carbon-management decisions.
Carbon Offsetting is a separate standalone course and does not use CTI's shared Carbon Accounting intake dates. After enrolment, CTI will contact participants to confirm the next suitable commencement arrangements and live session times.
Already completed CTI Carbon Accounting?
You only need the 3 additional offsetting learning units.
CTI's courses are modular. Eligible CTI Carbon Accounting graduates do not repeat foundation learning already completed. Instead, you progress through the 3 additional offsetting learning units required to complete the 8-unit Carbon Accounting & Offsetting pathway. Contact CTI to arrange the next suitable progression into these three units.

Course structure
Four specialist learning units delivered live online.
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.
Standalone or part of a wider pathway
Complete Carbon Offsetting as a 4-learning-unit standalone specialist course when your primary need is carbon-market and offsetting capability. This course is scheduled separately from CTI's shared Carbon Accounting intakes.
If you have already completed CTI Carbon Accounting, you complete only the 3 additional offsetting learning units because relevant foundation learning has already been covered.
If you need organisational greenhouse-gas accounting capability as well, CTI recommends beginning with Carbon Accounting and then progressing through the additional offsetting learning.
Continue your learning
How Carbon Offsetting fits into the CTI pathway.
Carbon Offsetting can be completed independently, or it can form part of a progressive pathway from Carbon Accounting into broader Strategic Carbon Management capability.
Prefer to study Carbon Offsetting on its own? The standalone specialist course is 4 learning units, with commencement arrangements confirmed separately. After completing the integrated 8-unit Carbon Accounting & Offsetting pathway, only 2 additional strategic learning units are required to complete CTI's 10-unit Strategic Carbon Management program.
