Why did you decide to take a training course on carbon accounting?

‍

I had already had training but it was essentially theoretical. I therefore needed to improve my skills in the practice of carbon accounting. The challenge was obviously to gain autonomy in order to be able to accompany our clients alone in carrying out a carbon assessment but also to be able to carry out the carbon assessment of our firm.

‍

And what pushed you to choose the Sami training?

‍

First of all, to improve my skills in practice, I was looking for a very concrete training. And what I really liked about Sami's presentation was this theoretical base associated with a lot of practical cases.

This is what I needed to gain autonomy. I informed myself about other trainings, I saw Excel spreadsheets, I found it complex.

‍

Then, in the format, I found it interesting that the training was divided into several sessions with each time, a trainer in live with whom to interact.

‍

And then, last point, our firm Buying & Solutions has been a partner of Sami (Sami Pro) for a year, which means that we use the Sami platform to accompany some of our clients in their carbon assessment. So it was logical to follow the training with you, on this platform and also to strengthen our partnership with Sami.

‍

Verdict? Did the training meet your expectations?

‍

Yes! The theoretical basis is there, the overall reflection around the carbon assessment is there, the understanding of the different items, the emission factors, etc... And then there is all the practical dimension which was very important to me.

We do concrete cases, we go back to them with the trainer, we correct, we can ask questions, that's what makes the difference.

‍

The two strong points of the training that you retain?

‍

It won't surprise you but first the place reserved for practice! And second strong point, it's the community that it creates. There are exchanges with the other learners and the trainer during the whole duration of the training obviously but also the exchanges after the training.

There is a Slack channel that has been created and on which we can ask all our questions afterwards.

‍

The other advantage is that as a Sami Pro partner, we are lucky enough to have access to the Sami teams and therefore to be well accompanied. Having this link with Sami, it plays a lot. And this obviously gives the desire to continue in this direction, it is a virtuous circle.

‍

Was there also a challenge of taking over the Sami platform for you?

‍

I had already had the opportunity to use it and I find it quite easy to use, very intuitive and pedagogical whether on the client side or on the consultant side. So it was not a major issue for me but yes, I come out of this training even more at ease: it's not negligible!

‍

The platform makes our lives easier, there is no debate.

‍

And you decided not to stop there!

‍

Yes I also registered for the other training provided by Sami, the one on climate strategy.
The challenge is quite simple, it is to go further in the climate support of companies. We take stock, measure emissions, it's the first step.

‍

But then what do we do with it? It seems essential to me to continue with this training in order to have the right tools to then support companies in their entire climate strategy.
