Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) & Audit
Every major construction project in Kenya—from a petrol station to a dam—requires a NEMA license. This course is the gateway to the lucrative world of environmental consultancy. We guide you through the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), teaching you the step-by-step process of conducting an EIA.
You will learn how to assess noise, air quality, and biodiversity impacts, and more importantly, how to write the "Project Report" that NEMA approves. We also cover Environmental Audits (EA), the annual requirement for existing facilities.
This course is technical, legal, and practical, preparing you to register as a Lead or Associate Expert with NEMA.
What You Will Learn
- • EMCA 1999 and NEMA Regulations.
- • Public Participation: conducting stakeholder barazas.
- • Developing Environmental Management Plans (EMPs).
- • Environmental Audit methodologies.
Career Impact
The Hard Skill
Conducting Environmental Impact Assessments and writing NEMA-compliant project reports.
Market Gap
Real estate and infrastructure are booming, but projects stall without EIA licenses. NEMA experts are in high demand to unlock these developments.
Climate Finance & Carbon Markets
Carbon is the new commodity. With the Kenya Climate Change (Carbon Markets) Regulations 2024, the door is now open for trading carbon credits. This course cuts through the noise to teach you the business of climate change.
You will learn how "Carbon Credits" are generated (through forestry, clean cooking, or renewable energy), how they are verified by global standards (like Verra or Gold Standard), and how they are sold to international buyers. We explain the "Article 6" mechanisms of the Paris Agreement and how Kenyan projects can tap into billions of dollars in climate finance.
This is a cutting-edge course for those who want to monetize sustainability.
What You Will Learn
- • The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) vs. Compliance Markets.
- • Calculating carbon baselines and offsets.
- • The Project Design Document (PDD) process.
- • Benefit-sharing mechanisms for communities.
Career Impact
The Hard Skill
Designing carbon credit projects and navigating the verification standards (Verra/Gold Standard).
Market Gap
Kenya is a leader in carbon projects, but the expertise is held by foreign consultants. This course localizes that knowledge.
Sustainable Waste Management & Circular Economy
Waste is a design flaw. In a Circular Economy, waste is a raw material. This course challenges the "take-make-dispose" model and teaches the principles of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" as a business strategy.
We look at the Sustainable Waste Management Act, focusing on the legal obligations for waste separation at source and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). You will learn how to design waste management plans for industries and municipalities, and how to identify business opportunities in recycling—whether it's composting organic waste, recycling plastics, or managing E-waste.
This is where environmentalism meets entrepreneurship.
What You Will Learn
- • Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations.
- • Waste auditing and characterization.
- • Technologies for recycling and composting.
- • Hazardous waste handling procedures.
Career Impact
The Hard Skill
Developing waste management plans and circular business models.
Market Gap
With the closure of dumpsites like Dandora being debated, the private sector must take over waste management. This creates a massive opportunity for green businesses.
