The only course we recommend having prior knowledge for is Advanced RI Analysis. This course is recommended for investment professionals with a working knowledge of the investment process and ESG, as it focuses on how to integrate ESG factors into financial modelling.

There are certain areas of overlap between the two courses. Applied RI has additional modules and different case studies. See a breakdown of the two courses below:

• Applied RI (15 hours) is designed to take the learner from ESG theory to practical application and integration. It is our flagship course and covers ESG issues in detail, and how they are incorporated into the investment strategy and engagement. The course is designed for professionals wish to develop require a deeper understanding of ESG issues or are closer to the investment decision or involved in engagement, reporting and integration.


• Understanding RI is a much shorter course (3 hours) which provides a high-level overview of ESG issues, why they are material, and how they impact investment decision-making over a variety of asset classes. This course is ideal for client-facing, sales, marketing operations and management professionals who require an ability to converse in ESG issues but are not necessarily close to the investment decision.

Here is a breakdown of the job roles typically best suited for each course. Please note that this is only general guidance, so a different course, or set of courses, may better meet your needs.

• Understanding RI is ideal for client-facing, sales, marketing operations and management professionals who require an ability to converse in ESG issues but are not necessarily close to the investment decision.


• Applied RI is designed for professionals whose roles require a deeper understanding of ESG issues, specifically those closer to the investment decision or those involved in engagement, reporting and integration.


• Advanced RI Analysis is relevant for investment professionals looking for applied training on how to incorporate ESG data into fundamental investment analysis and stock valuation.


• RI for Trustees is for board members and trustees. It looks at their responsibilities, why responsibly investing is part of their fiduciary duties and how they can develop policies and an approach to ensure they appropriately discharge such duties.
