This online training series is not an "informational course," but is a rigorous course composed of a series of modules in which participants complete work products, guided by ITEP instructional staff and other course participants. Each module contains informational presentations via webinar, homework assignments, interactive discussions, and on-on-one assistance.

This course is designed only for those tribes needing to generate an emissions inventory in 2017. Enrollment must be pre-approved by ITEP staff. The 2017 instructor-led training schedule is below. Please email Angelique at Angelique.Luedeker@nau.edu to determine if you are eligible to enroll at this time or if you are interested in the self-paced option.

Emissions Inventory (EI) Fundamentals online training series is equivalent to 5.0 continuing education units (CEUs) and requires approximately 50 hours of total learning time over the course of seven weeks to develop an emissions inventory. Weekly webinars will be held on 1-10-17 through 2-14-17 on Tuesdays at 9:00am PT | 10:00am MT | 11:00am CT | 12:00pm ET.  Participants will complete a level 4 EI (a level 4 EI does not include gathering activity data or calculating emissions, but only lists sources and pollutants using data already generated by and obtained from EPA/nearby jurisdictions; this is also a necessary first step toward more comprehensive EIs, and for those who wish to continue to the next series (EI Advanced)). 

Emissions Inventory (EI) Advanced online training series is equivalent to 12 continuing education units (CEUs) and requires approximately 120 hours of total learning time over the course of thirteen weeks to begin developing a Level 2 or 3 emissions inventory. Emissions Inventory (EI) Advanced weekly webinars will be held on Tuesdays beginning 3-7-17 and going through 5-30-17 (excluding 4-18-17 and 5-2-17) at 9:00am PT | 10:00am MT | 11:00am CT | 12:00pm ET.  During this series, participants will begin working on a level 2 or 3 EI. This online training series is for participants who need to gather data from sources on tribal lands (for example, amount of gasoline sold at gas stations, cords of wood used in wood stoves, miles of unpaved road, gallons of propane purchased to heat community center, etc.) and use the data to calculate emissions from those sources to begin developing a Level 2 or 3 EI. Participants should have completed the EI Fundamentals training or have prior experience developing EIs.
