Some of the recent comments about the course are shown below.
“The series of webinars is a very welcome additional training”
“…reinforces officers day-to-day practice”
“Series has been excellent and I have found it informative, useful and interesting”
"Very helpful, clear guidance on the EIA process and I will be referring back to the slides and modules in the future“
“This has been a very useful programme”
“EIARs can feel very time consuming to review and absorb effectively but good strategies for achieving this were provided in the most recent webinar (26 Feb 2026).”
“Given my experience over the past 10 years of dealing with EIA development applications, the webinars have often been useful reminders about certain aspects or have helped confirm my approach to the application of the regulations in specific examples and I can only imagine for officers with less experience of working with the EIA regulations they would have proven"
“I will be using the NPH EIA resource in the future and other members
of the team intend to.”
