  • "This was my first online only course and I was quite apprehensive as my preferred method of learning is in the classroom. I am converted, the engagement and interaction I enjoy was all there, delivered excellently by a very professional and knowledgeable tutor. All the course material was delivered to my home address and communication with Astutis throughout was 1st class."

    11.06.2025
  • "I loved this course. Having previous experience in LCA I already knew some of the concepts. Still, this course allowed me to broaden my horizons on how companies report their carbon footprint, the places where you can find the best emission factors, and how to address some of the most common problems when accounting for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Both instructors were very clear in their explanations and always ready to clear any doubts."
