The course has a duration of 20 hours distributed in ten weeks and is offered in remote mode.

The methodology combines the theoretical dictation of each ND with the application of dynamic and challenging group exercises. Through the exercises, students will be able to acquire the key concepts, requirements, and rationale of each requirement.

Clients

“This IFC PS course is essential for anyone who wants to incorporate these standards into their professional practice. Thanks to Jacqueline extensive experience in the field, she manages to mix theoretical content, simple comprehension exercises, and more complex application exercises using a large number of concrete examples. The course is very interactive, so participants are encouraged to participate, give their opinions, question, and share their own experiences, which further enriches the course content. I had an excellent experience thus I recommend it to all professionals in the environmental and social sectors”. Michel B

“The course contributed to have an in-depth knowledge of the environmental and social performance standards of the IFC and the implementation of the ESMS. The instructor makes the classes in a very didactic way and proposes case studies of real projects. In addition, the instructor’s experience in various countries around the world makes the course enriched with the challenges that may arise in different parts of the world at the time of implementation. Undoubtedly, the course is an investment that will bring both professional and economic benefits and gains for the professional or company that decides to take it, by being able to make the ESMS implementation processes more efficient”. Giovanna Durand

“Hello, I had the opportunity to participate in the course of the IFC Performance Standards developed and taught by Jacqueline, of which I can only give a positive opinion due to the quality of the information, very valuable, the structure of the course which I found very orderly. The teaching methodology exceeded my expectations as it was not only theory but many practical cases, take home assignments, presentations and an exam at the end. I also highlight the real examples provided by Jacqueline based on her own international experience, the application of the standards in different types of projects, industries, as well as atypical situations that may arise. I believe that the course is fundamental for all those who wish to familiarize themselves with probably the most demanding socio-environmental standards of an international nature”. Alexander Mori
