Session Types
Public Training
Public training can be provided for openLCA users from different academic or professional backgrounds. You will join the training with other participants. The training covers the basic and/or intermediate (see “Course content” section below) use of openLCA and the participant receives training materials (manuals, exercises, etc.) for specific topics to gain a better understanding of the use and all functions of the software. These training sessions are held either online or in-house.
Basic and Intermediate trainings are held monthly, with sessions alternating between AM and PM CET.
Note: Basic and Intermediate trainings do not clash
Private Training
Private training sessions are suitable for individuals as well as university or company teams looking for personalised training options. These specialised training sessions cover the basic & intermediate or advanced use of openLCA and offer the participants more flexibility with the course content and time to attend the training. Participants will receive training materials (manuals, exercises, etc.) for specific topics to gain a deeper understanding of the use and all functions of the software. These training sessions are held in three formats: Online, in-house and at participant’s premises.
Learning Studio
The openLCA Learning Studio is meant for teaching openLCA concepts and its application with the help of pre-recorded modules and supporting resources, so that you can learn at your own pace. At the moment, it covers our openLCA Basics training material and can be accessed for three months at a time.
Advanced Remote Seminar
This is a specialized training for advanced openLCA users that takes place over a period of up to three months. The seminar consists of six modules, each of which is accompanied by theoretical background information, practical exercises and an online meeting (30 minutes per module) with a teacher. Additionally, participants can send emails to the teacher for a quick response. Individuals or groups interested in this training can get further information by clicking here.
Trainers’ Academy
The aim of the Trainers Academy is to enable openLCA users to become certified trainers in openLCA, and start their own trainings for basic and intermediate level. The training will go through topics regarding teaching, and also will cover a couple of advanced topics and Q&A. It is held online and there is a written and oral exam at the end, after which one obtains the certification and training material. Check out our informational package here.
