Questions about CTI courses?

Carbon Accounting is CTI's recommended foundation course for most people who are new to organisational carbon accounting. It contains 5 learning units and provides the foundation for several of CTI's longer professional pathways.

If you already know that you want to complete Carbon Accounting & Offsetting, Strategic Carbon Management or the full ASRS program, you can enrol in that full program from the outset and begin with the next available shared Carbon Accounting intake.

Standalone Carbon Offsetting is different. It is a separate 4-unit specialist course with commencement arrangements confirmed separately.

Yes. Carbon Accounting can be completed as a 5-unit foundation course and Carbon Offsetting can be completed as a separate 4-unit standalone specialist course.

You can also enrol directly in the full 8-unit Carbon Accounting & Offsetting program, the full 10-unit Strategic Carbon Management program or the full 8-unit ASRS program. These broader programs begin through CTI's shared Carbon Accounting intake structure.

Relevant completed learning can carry forward into the next program. This means you do not need to repeat foundation content simply because you decide to continue your learning.

For example, after completing the 5-unit Carbon Accounting course, you need only 3 additional offsetting units to complete the 8-unit Carbon Accounting & Offsetting program.

Yes. Carbon Offsetting is available as a separate 4-learning-unit standalone course. It does not use CTI's shared Carbon Accounting intake dates. Commencement arrangements and live session times are confirmed separately with participants.

If you have already completed CTI Carbon Accounting, you do not need to repeat the overlapping foundation learning. Eligible graduates complete only the 3 additional offsetting units required for the 8-unit Carbon Accounting & Offsetting pathway.

Strategic Carbon Management is a 10-learning-unit integrated program. It incorporates the 8-unit Carbon Accounting & Offsetting curriculum and adds 2 advanced units focused on strategy, systems, governance and organisational implementation.

If you have already completed Carbon Accounting & Offsetting, you therefore need only the 2 additional strategic units.

The full ASRS Climate-disclosure Compliance program contains 8 learning units. Participants who have not already completed the relevant CTI Carbon Accounting learning begin with the shared Carbon Accounting intake and complete the required carbon-accounting-for-disclosure foundation before progressing into the ASRS-specific units.

Eligible CTI Carbon Accounting graduates complete only the 5 additional ASRS-specific learning units, because relevant carbon-accounting foundation learning has already been completed.

Each learning unit includes approximately a 1.5-hour live online webinar, supported by workbook activities and practical course resources. CTI's professional courses are delivered online and are available to participants worldwide.

CTI does not require you to choose a fixed webinar time at checkout. Participants enrol into a course intake first, and CTI then arranges the live session time before commencement, aiming to find a time that works reasonably well for the participants in that intake.

Yes. The modular structure is designed to allow participants to begin with the capability they need now and build further later without unnecessarily repeating relevant learning.

For example, you can begin with Carbon Accounting, later add the offsetting units, and then continue into Strategic Carbon Management.

Yes. CTI can arrange invoice-based enrolment. Use the Request an Invoice option on the relevant course page or contact CTI with the participant and organisation details.

Yes. CTI provides corporate and organisational training, including private cohorts and tailored professional learning for finance, sustainability, ESG, reporting, risk, governance, management and other organisational teams.

Certificate and recognition arrangements depend on the course or program completed. If you need confirmation of the certificate or recognition provided for a particular pathway before enrolling, contact CTI and we can confirm the current arrangement.

Carbon Accounting, Carbon Accounting & Offsetting, Strategic Carbon Management and the full ASRS program use CTI's shared starting intake dates. You can view the next available dates on the Course Calendar.

Standalone Carbon Offsetting is scheduled separately. After enrolment, CTI will contact you to confirm the next suitable commencement arrangements.
