Certificate of Competence in Soundscape Assessment

This five-day course provides delegates with a foundational knowledge of soundscape assessment methodology, including soundscape theory, human perception of sound, data collection methods, and analytical techniques. The course follows the framework of ISO 12913 standards and emphasizes the role of soundscapes in health, wellbeing, and environmental design.

Students take the Certificate at an Accredited Centre. Attendance at the Centre is usually for four days, plus the examination day, which includes the assessment of a soundscape dataset and reporting requirements. Examinations are normally held at the Centre twice per year, in Spring and Autumn. Typically the Centre will run the course for the four days preceding the examination date.

Information on the accredited centre and the syllabus is available below.
