EPD PRACTITIONER TRAINING
Hands-on skills for verification-ready Environmental Product Declarations
You already know how to conduct Life Cycle Assessments.
This program helps you turn those results into Environmental Product Declarations you can confidently submit for third-party verification.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Working on a real EPD helped me understand the entire process from start to verification.” - Pilot Program Participant
From “I think this is correct” to “I’m confident sending this for verification.”
This program is designed for those who:
Already conduct ISO 14044 compliant LCAs in practice
Are responsible for creating, reviewing, or supporting EPDs
Work in manufacturing, especially construction or construction-adjacent sectors
Are preparing your first EPD or want to reduce rework and verification risk
This program is NOT for:
Beginners without hands-on LCA experience
Professionals working only with whole-building LCAs inside certification tools
Anyone looking for high-level theory without an active EPD project
Curious if you’re eligible? Let’s schedule a quick call.
Why EPDs feel harder than LCAs?
-
Additional costs
Months of rework
Loss of confidence!
EPDs are not just another reporting format. They are externally reviewed documents governed by standards, program operator rules, and Product Category Rules.
Many teams have strong LCA capability but still struggle when moving to EPDs because:
PCR interpretation becomes ambiguous in practice
Documentation expectations are unclear
Misalignment often appears only during third-party verification
A rejected or delayed EPD can mean months of rework, additional cost, and lost confidence in the process.
This program exists to reduce that risk before submission.
What we help you achieve
The EPD Practitioner Training is a hands-on program built around your own EPD project.
By the end of the program, you will have:
A clearly defined EPD scope (product, market, program operator, PCR)
A mapped LCA-to-EPD workflow aligned with EN 15804
A substantial EPD draft structured in the correct template
A verification-ready documentation checklist
A clear action plan to reach publication
Enrollment for July 2026 cohort is now open!
Our April 2026 pilot cohort got sold out faster than we expected - it’s incredible to see such enthusiasm from the participants!
If you missed that one, don't worry: the enrollment for July 2026 cohort is now open, and we'd love to have you join us!
Spots are limited to ensure every participant gets direct guidance on their own EPD project.
If you have an EPD coming up in the second half of 2026, this is the time to secure your place.
