Hybrid Training on Environmental Impact Assessment: Concepts to Practice

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is back with one of its signature trainings - an integrated training programme on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The training is divided into two parts: a self-paced Basic Learning module on our Moodle platform (online), and an in-depth Advanced Learning workshop at our residential campus (offline).

This two-part training programme offers flexibility. The self-paced online course, with daily video modules, is designed to clarify concepts and provide theoretical knowledge via lectures from experts. The immersive, four day in-person workshop, which will be held at CSE’s  residential training campus is designed for firsthand experience through group exercises, discussions, case studies and real-time feedback. Whether you are looking for foundational clarity or practical exposure, this program is structured to meet you where you are at!

Participants can choose to do only the online module, without the offline part. However, those registering for the onsite course must complete the online module first.
