Our robust curriculum provides learners with the tools to understand CSRD reporting regulations, helping businesses navigate and meet EU sustainability reporting standards. We aim to foster a culture of continuous education on sustainability reporting practices to enhance knowledge capacity and address challenges in this evolving landscape.
Are your courses updated to reflect the EU Omnibus Proposal?
All of our courses (CSRD Fundamentals, CSRD Advanced, and CSRD Professional) include interactive notes regarding the proposed EU Omnibus changes to ensure that course participants have comprehensive insights into how these developments might potentially affect them in the future. And we continue to closely monitor developments to ensure our courses remain aligned with evolving standards and needs.
Are there prerequisites for the courses?
Our courses are designed to be inclusive and welcoming to professionals across all levels of business reporting knowledge including ESG reporting and sustainability reporting. Whether you are just starting out or seeking to deepen your understanding, our training courses cover both basic and advanced concepts to ensure a comprehensive grasp of the subject matter and establish a solid foundation for your learning journey.
What materials are used in the courses?
Our courses place a strong emphasis on utilising videos as the primary learning tool, supported by a diverse range of supplementary materials to enhance the learning experience. By incorporating engaging video content, we aim to elevate the learning experience and provide learners with a dynamic and interactive way to acquire and retain knowledge.

What is the difference between your Level 2 and Level 3 courses?
CSRD Advanced is our Level 2 course that provides a comprehensive analysis of each of the core elements of the CSRD. It is aimed at workers at all levels within an organisation who require a thorough understanding of all aspects of the CSRD, but are not responsible for writing the sustainability reports. It takes approximately 6 hours to complete.
CSRD Professional is our Level 3 course and as our most comprehensive training course, it is very well suited to experienced sustainability professionals who are looking for in-depth knowledge about all aspects of the CSRD. This course sees particular interest from sustainability professionals responsible for CSRD reporting in their organisation, and also sustainability consultants who provide expert advisory services to clients and require advanced knowledge and practical tools in the CSRD. It takes approximately 8-10 hours to complete.
Do I need to complete a course in one day?
You can complete any of our courses at your own pace and convenience, and you have 24/7 access over a 12-month period to complete the course.
