Why EMA Training Fails in Practice (and Why This Matters)
Many organizations invest in training, yet still experience:
- Rejected LCA studies
- Non-compliant EPDs
- Weak GHG inventories
- Failed verification reviews
- Inability to defend assumptions under scrutiny
The issue is rarely “lack of training hours.”
It is methodological misapplication, weak interpretation, and insufficient expert grounding.
DEISO’s EMA training is designed to eliminate these risks.
DEISO’s EMA training is designed to eliminate these risks.
Who This Is For — and Who It Is Not
This training is appropriate for:
- Sustainability & ESG professionals
- Corporate sustainability, R&D, and engineering teams
- Independent LCA / EPD consultants
- GHG & carbon management professionals
- PhD students and applied researchers working on real studies
This training is not designed for:
- Casual learners
- Self-paced course seekers
- “Introductory overview only” audiences
- Training without application or accountability
This filtering is intentional.

The DEISO Training & Advisory Framework
DEISO does not offer isolated courses.
We deliver structured EMA training pathways, aligned with international standards and real-world decision contexts.
Each pathway:
- Starts from a ZERO baseline (no assumptions)
- Progresses systematically to the required level
- Emphasizes defensibility, interpretation, and professional judgment
- Is delivered by senior practitioners with consulting and verification experience
Core Training Pathways
1️⃣ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Training Pathway
Flagship Program
A progressive pathway from foundational LCA understanding to expert-level consulting and decision support.
Coverage includes:
- ISO 14040 & ISO 14044 application
- Goal & scope definition, LCI, LCIA, interpretation
- Attributional & consequential LCA
- Allocation, system expansion, uncertainty & sensitivity
- Professional reporting and communication
Available levels:
Basic · Basic+ · Professional · Expert · Expert+
This pathway forms the methodological foundation for all advanced EMA work.
2️⃣ Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Training Pathway
Professional training enabling organizations and consultants to independently prepare and publish EPDs in compliance with international standards.
Focus areas:
- EPD standards and PCR interpretation
- LCA modeling for EPDs
- Data quality, documentation, and verification readiness
- Preparation of publish-ready EPDs
Delivery options:
- EPD with GaBi (LCA for Experts)
- EPD with openLCA
Both pathways follow the same standards-driven methodology.
3️⃣ Lead GHG Verifier Training Pathway
Advanced training for professionals responsible for GHG inventory verification and assurance, particularly in complex industrial contexts.
Coverage includes:
- GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, GRI alignment
- Scope 1, 2, and 3 verification
- Risk-based verification planning
- Data quality, traceability, and uncertainty
- Sector-specific verification case studies
Designed for professionals operating under regulatory, investor, or third-party scrutiny.
4️⃣ Professional LCA Software Training Pathways
Software training is delivered within a methodological framework, not as tool instruction alone.
Available software pathways:
- LCA for Experts (formerly GaBi)
- SimaPro
Each follows a tiered structure from Basic to Expert+ and emphasizes:
- Defensible modeling practices
- Interpretation and reporting
- Real project workflows
How Program Selection Works (Important)
DEISO does not recommend all programs to all participants.
Before enrollment, we conduct an expert training review to:
- Understand your context and objectives
- Assess readiness and required level
- Recommend the appropriate pathway
- Avoid under- or over-training
This protects both technical outcomes and investment value.
Training Delivery
- Online or on-site
- One-to-one or group delivery
- Flexible scheduling
- Corporate customization available
All programs are delivered with direct expert interaction.
Certification
Participants receive a DEISO Certificate of Completion aligned with the selected pathway and level.
Optional examination-based certification is available for advanced programs.
The Outcome You Should Expect
Participants and organizations gain the ability to:
- Conduct independent, defensible EMA work
- Pass audits, reviews, and verification processes
- Communicate results with confidence
- Apply EMA methods in real decision-making contexts
Start with an Expert Review
If you are unsure which pathway is appropriate, I would like to know what is expected.
Request an Expert Training Review to discuss your objectives, context, and suitability.
Final note (important)
This page is intentionally selective.
If you are looking for generic training, there are many options available.
If you need EMA competence that holds up under scrutiny, this is where the conversation starts.
