Since its founding in 1993, ETCI has earned its reputation as an industry leader and innovator. From our NEPA Toolbox™ training curriculum to our NEPA Podcast Series, we have racked up an impressive array of firsts:

First to offer a comprehensive, coordinated NEPA training curriculum in environmental impact assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Our NEPA Toolbox™ workshop curriculum provides specific concepts and tools for beginners to advanced practitioners.

First to have all workshops taught by senior environmental professionals. Our staff and associates all have decades of real in-agency, hands-on experience in environmental policy, planning, management and compliance. Many have literally “written the book” on their specialties. And, they get rave reviews from participants.

First to offer a specific NEPA Toolbox™ workshop in cumulative effects assessment.

First to offer a specific NEPA Toolbox™ workshop integrating NEPA with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

First to offer training workshops and other assistance on environmental management systems, Greening the Federal Government, and EO 13148 and 13423 compliance.

First to offer on-line streaming audio NEPA Toolbox™ workshop previews so participants can (1) hear exactly what they will be hearing at the workshop and (2) review workshop contents quickly whenever they want a refresher.

First to offer an ongoing series of Interactive Support services devoted to NEPA-related topics.

First to sponsor a NEPA Blog, to connect practitioners and others in an ongoing way, providing a forum to cuss, discuss, and share resources about one of the most important recent American contributions to the world.

First to offer a Distance Learning Curriculum of our most popular NEPA Toolbox™ workshops, for clients with only a few staff who need NEPA training, now offered through Podcasting technology.

First to develop a concentrated, week-long environmental impact assessment seminar for university undergraduates and graduate students in Environmental Sciences, offered at Oklahoma State University for university or continuing education credits.

First to team with the Smithsonian Institution to develop The Smithsonian Environmental Leadership Course for environmental leaders from around the world.
