Narrated lessons

Each unit opens with a short video that sets the objectives, followed by 3–5 dialogue‑based lessons where two practitioners unpack the topic step‑by‑step, and a closing video pointing to further resources. This format converts complex legal language into an easy‑to‑follow conversation, so learners can absorb the material while commuting or between meetings.

Core themes

Paris Agreement refresher → Article 6.2 co‑operative approaches → Article 6.4 mechanism → Article 6.8 non‑market cooperation. Learners finish with a clear map of which Article 6 avenue best fits their organisation’s mitigation activities.

Expert insights

Selected units feature short guest clips in which project developers and registry officials share “lessons learned” from real Article 6 pilots. This gives practitioners concrete do’s and don’ts they can apply the very next time they draft an ITMO transfer request or host‑country authorisation.

Slide deck &  checklists

All dialogue points and mirrored in slides and single-page checklists.

Knowledge checks

A 10-question quiz at the end of each unit and a cumulative final test (pass mark 80%) ensure that learners not only listen but can demonstrate competence for audit or CPD purposes.

By the end of the course, professionals will be able to articulate the Article 6 option, outline the data and approval steps for an ITMO, and brief management on risks such as double-counting, skills that shorten the lead time for turning mitigation outcomes into tradable assets.
