Since the 1960s, there has been growing public awareness of the interaction between development actions and their environmental consequences.
Please see
this page for a closer look at the EIA process.
EIA systems have become established in both developed and developing countries, usually as a legal requirement of the development control process.
The Academy has experience of providing EIA training to a wide range of international clients such as Africa and Asia.
The aim of the course is to provide an insight to learners within the industry about the processes of EIA and the requirements within these processes.
As well as advanced EIA training, The Academy also offers an introductory course.

Duration
Typically delivered over 3 days.
This course can be tailored for your organisation and provided as in-house training or candidates can attend an open course where they can learn from and share experiences with candidates from other organisations.
Who Should Attend?
The course has been designed to be applicable to candidates working in the environmental industry or have some exposure to environmental impact assessments.
Structure
It has been shown that learning takes place most effectively through participation in training activities, rather than simply through the reading and lecture attendance. Thus, in addition to presentations, the taught sessions involve the learner in discussing EIA concepts and developing understanding through case study exercises.
Outcomes
The overall aim of this course is to develop the learner’s understanding of the principals of environmental impact assessment. On completion of the course the student should be able to:
- understand and be familiar with EIA procedures;
- select and use appropriate techniques in impact identification, prediction, evaluation, mitigation and monitoring;
- critically assess the quality of Environmental Statements / EIA reports;
- understand the role of different practitioners in the EIA process, and identify practical difficulties in the application of EIA;
- understand the role and application of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).
