Frequently Asked
Questions on our LCA Training.

How it works?
  1. We offer remote training and in-person training. If remote training isn't suitable for your needs, we can arrange a time to visit our office in Japan at your expense.
  2. We offer training to customers in Japan. The process can happen either online or at a location of your preference at your own expense for transportation and accommodation.
  3. This is how remote training works: (1) We use the Zoom app and Zoom whiteboards to deliver training materials and interact with trainees. (2) If any training modules contain an option for licensed LCA software (GaBi, SimaPro, MiLCA, or OpenLCA), the trainee must have a license of the desired LCA software (e.g., GaBi or SimaPro), and the software is installed on the trainees PC. We must remotely access the trainee's PC during the session(s) that involves training on LCA software. (3) If the trainee has no licensor for LCA software, we can still provide the training using a free commercial demo with limited functionality. However, this does not lower the training course.
  4. We offer 30-60 minutes of free remote consultation: Our consultants can help you choose which type of training would make the most sense to meet your individual needs. We offer one hour of free remote consultation to help you figure out what level of training would best suit your knowledge, experience, and LCA skill set. We are not currently offering just basic LCA one and advanced LCA training.
  5. We take full privacy and security measures for the PC remote access of our trainee(s).
  6. Trainees can access our training portal at training.dei.so to submit any assignments they need and download slides, materials, and training materials relating to the specifics of the assignments. Optionally: trainees can write short feedback of 3 questions after each session outlining what they have learned during the session(s) and difficulties they encountered in prior sessions so that we can work together to improve the quality of training and if there is anything that needs improvement based on their feedback; this way we can understand what sorts of things are difficult for the trainees to work on and do my best to help!
  7. During the first training session, we take 10-20 minutes to address the questions that of the previous training session the participant(s) had. Training usually lasts from 2 – 4 hours with 20-30 minutes of breaks.
Do you offer custom training plans?

Yes!

  1. We also offer LCA software-specific training programs for SimaPro, openLCA, MiLCA, and GaBi. We also create customized training plans for individuals of basic or advanced levels that want to learn about LCA software (40% standard LCA training and 60% explicitly relating to the LCA software the client chooses).
  2. We also offer LCA software-specific training programs for GaBi, SimaPro, openLCA, and MiLCA. We can also create an individualized combination of introductory and advanced LCA courses or review individually tailored 60% "Basic Training Program" or "Advanced Training Program" with
  3. We also offer LCA software-specific training programs for LCA software training only (not for LCA) for any 4 software options available GaBi, SimaPro, openLCA, and MiLCA.
  4. Please note only openLCA is free of charge software as it is open-source.
Do you offer a training certificate?

The training program completion certificate is optional: You must pass a test and complete all the assignments after the training period to receive your certificate. The fee for the examination and the certification takes an extra cost on top of your training fees, and if the trainee did not pass the first time, they can purchase another exam ticket. However, most of our clients pass with no difficulties, especially with basic LCA. The exam is available every month after the six-month training ends. After six months, the trainee needs to retake the trading course and the examination.

How many people can attend a training program?
Our training services are offered as one-to-one training programs. For teams or large companies, we provide training programs usually for 2-5, quotation-based pricing. It is also possible to request a quotation for 5+ attendees.  Request for Quotation.
What Makes our training programs special?
  • Our training programs are different because we collaborate with you and not for you.
  • We're not only in the business of "selling" training services - but we also genuinely care about our customers' success. We're collaborating with you as a partner to ensure that your training experience helps you reach your goals and ends up being beneficial for your company. We work as "partners" with our customers rather than as "trainers."
Who are the LCA trainers?

An LCA expert will take care of the training program you choose.

How much does it cost?

It's a quotation-based service. Clients submit a Request for Quotation.

Do any of these training programs come with any free services?

Yes. We do have a few free services that we offer related to the training program selected for each client. We list them in the pricing quotation.

How the Online Training Programs are Conducted?

We provide any of the training programs online (remotely), in our company’s location in Japan, or at customer sites both inside and outside of Japan. The following is how online/remote training is carried out:

  1. Using the Zoom App (https://zoom.us).
  2. Zoom Whiteboards (https://explore.zoom.us/en/products/online-whiteboard).
  3. A live view of explanations & illustrations on a physical whiteboard.
  4. On-desk notes where trainees will receive. Handwritten explanations and illustrations by the instructor on his desk, both of which (3) and (4) utilize cutting-edge webcam technology).
  5. The trainee(s) can choose between (1 with 2 or 3 or 4) or (1 and 2-4, all). It is all about the trainee(s) preferences
