Certified Sustainable Project Professional (CSPP™) – RPL Accelerated Course
An accelerated Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) route for experienced, certified project managers to develop sustainability-focused project management competencies.
Course Overview & Key Outcomes
This accelerated programme is designed for experienced, certified project managers who want to integrate sustainability into their existing project management knowledge and skills. The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway acknowledges your previous project management qualifications and experience, enabling you to follow a shorter 2-day route to the Certified Sustainable Project Professional (CSPP™) credential rather than completing the full 3-day programme.

- P5 Impact Assessment (P5IA): Gain hands-on expertise executing a P5IA to evaluate, score, and manage environmental, social, and product risks on live projects
- Sustainability Management Plan (SMP): Design, manage, and track measurable KPIs within an actionable SMP to mitigate negative impacts and maximise value
- The PRiSM™ Lifecycle: Learn to blend sustainability seamlessly into every stage of project delivery, from initial conception to closure
- Methodology Integration & Exam Prep: Apply green practices across Predictive, Agile, and Hybrid lifecycles, and prepare for the official CSPP™ exam
- Course completion certificate confirming 12 contact hours, plus post-training support
