3. Preliminary Findings

EIA is an art as well as a science. It is natural then that practicing EIA does not follow a rigid text-book

procedure and that the process tends to mystify users at times, especially beginners. For these reasons,

training and study in EIA become very important. This compilation lists at least 12 distinct and current

non-academic training and academic programs respectively.

Subject modules on offer

All the training programs (e.g. the EIA Training Course offered by Symmons Madge Associates, UK) and a

few of the academic onesF

2F (e.g. Post Graduate Diploma in EIA offered by Murdoch University, Australia)

assume the participant / student possesses some prior knowledge in the environmental arena. Such

programs are intended solely for environmental professionals. The rest of the academic programs allow

for the participant to opt for pre-requisite courses as a condition for enrolling in the program.

Regardless of this prior knowledge (or the lack of it), there are specific modules which are common to

both non-academic as well as academic programs.

Introduction to EIA

Public involvement

Screening

Scoping

Impact analysis

Mitigation and impact management

2 Those programs offering a Master’s degree or equivalent.


Reporting

Writing an EIA Report

Reviewing an EIA Report

Importance of theory and practice

An important point to be made here is the need for EIA training and academic programs to allow for not

just theoretical, but also practical components. Examples include requests for additional case studies in

the context of developing countries, knowledge and practice of how an element of the process applies

to a particular stakeholder, etc. In this regard, the adaptability of the EIA training or academic program

to a particular set of participants or students becomes significant.

Online or F2F?

It is notable that a few of these programs – 6 in all – also provide an online learning component, and by

all accounts, are saleable and appear to enjoy a viable market. F2F training and academic programs tend

to dominate the scenario as of now. This is not unusual given that such parallels exist for subjects other

than EIA.

Pricing

The pricing for F2F programs varies widely – from free (for non-academic training onlyF

3F) to up to USD

20,000 (e.g. M.Sc. in Environmental Assessment offered by McGill University, Canada). The same is also

observed for online training / academic courses – some of the courses are free (e.g. World Bank’s course

on SEA) and others priced (e.g. USD 8,000-9,000 for a Diploma or M.Sc. via distance learning in

Integrated Environmental Management offered by the University of Bath, UK)F

4F.

3 All academic courses are priced with the exception of the H UEIA Course Module offered by the Open Educational

ResourceUH. 4 Doubtless, a lot of diverse factors contribute to the pricing of these programs, but it is not the intention of this

note to explore these.

SEA Course by the World Bank at HUhttp://go.worldbank.org/YEBDICX040 UH


This course is a joint effort of the World Bank, the International Association for Impact Assessment

(IAIA), as well as local and international institutes. The course responds to the increasing demand for

learning in this field, as countries gradually understand the importance of early integration of

Environmental Assessment into decision-making and planning. The objective of the course is to build the

capacity of countries to implement EAs for development policies and plans.

UType of program: U

For practicing professionals; the main target audience includes government officials responsible for

making and implementing policies, plans, and programs at the local, regional, and national level and

professionals involved in SEA process. Trainers and representatives of academic, research, and other

civil society groups are also among the intended trainees.

The United Nations University, RMIT University, and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)

jointly developed this open educational resource on EIA. The resource is based on the first 11 training

topics of UNEP's EIA Training Resources Manual and was edited and modified by subject matter experts

from RMIT University in Australia. This open learning resource was developed by RMIT University and

United Nations University (UNU) Online Learning (email: [email protected] UH).

Financial support for the development of this open educational resource came from the Government of

Norway, via the Global Virtual University and directly from the UNU.

There are 2 versions of this module. The basic version provides all the course materials and will run on

your computer (through your browser) and can also be copied to CD-ROM. The advanced version will

run on your webserver as a Wordpress blog. You require some technical knowledge to use the advanced

version.

Certificate Course in SEA and EIA: Applying Systems Analysis and Spatial Decision Support Tools

offered by the University of Twente (The Netherlands). URL:

Hhttp://www.itc.nl/Pub/study/Courses/C11-NRS-SCD-01 H

About this program:

The key principles of EIA and SEA are the involvement of relevant stakeholders, a transparent and

adaptive planning process, consideration of alternatives, and using the best possible information for

decision and policy making. EIA and SEA therefore improve both the planning process and the

information used in this process. In this 3-week course, you will explore how GIS, models and spatial

decision support systems can be used to help to identify and structure the problem(s), find and compare

possible solutions, and monitor and evaluate the proposed activities. Hands-on experience with real EIA

and SEA projects will be a major part of the course.

Type of program:

Academic; although participants may have diverse backgrounds, they should share practical experience

of, or an affinity with, the application of EIA, SEA and GIS within an environmental context. They may be

employed by local or government authorities or line agencies, or be practitioners, reviewers,

consultants, experts, students or professionals working in the field of environment.

Education courses undertaken by UK students were subsidized by the Government, such that students are typically

charged less than it costs to deliver the course. In September 2007, the Government decided to stop subsidizing

courses undertaken by students who already held an equivalent or higher qualification from anywhere in the

world. Students falling into this category would thus have to bear the whole cost of the course themselves. 16 An island student is a person who is resident in outlying UK islands such as the Isle of Man and the Channel

M.Sc. in Environmental Assessment offered by McGill University, Quebec (Canada)

URL: Hhttp://www.mcgill.ca/nrs/graduate/environment/structure/ H

About this program:

The program duration is one year (January-December) and is comprised of three inter-related elements:

graduate level courses, an internship, and a project related research paper. Alternatively, there is a two

year structure available for students who are interested in the program but are unable to meet the

demands of such a short term, intensive course of study. This option is based on three or four, part-

time, course-load terms in which the student and his or her academic advisor determine the best way to

break down the course load in each fall and winter semester. The internship takes place during the

second summer semester. Students who choose this option are registered for a program that spans 24

months, with up to two semesters (8 months) in which they are not expected to be academically active.

Courses are given by McGill academic staff and associates from partner organizations involved in

environmental assessment and sustainable development. The courses also include guest speakers

drawn from public and private sector EA institutions in Montreal and Ottawa.
