Delivery for the Assessed lab

Before you begin

Build on your foundations.

Carbon project screening and MRV foundations; forest-carbon knowledge and spreadsheet confidence.

Planned practical output

Show what you can do.

An applicability memo, calculation workbook, monitoring plan and evidence register, supported by an oral explanation.

Learning sequence

Explain. Practise. Review.

  1. 01

    Choose the applicable approach

    Compare two project scenarios; document an eligible approach and explain why an alternative fails the conditions.

  2. 02

    Build the baseline and additionality case

    Identify assumptions and supporting evidence. Complete the relevant investment-analysis exercise.

  3. 03

    Apply the tools and modules

    Use the shared VT0008 and VMD0054 learning units in their methodology-specific context.

  4. 04

    Calculate and check the result

    Trace a sample dataset through a workbook; explain boundaries, units, uncertainty and errors.

  5. 05

    Plan monitoring and assemble evidence

    Draft a monitoring schedule, data responsibilities and an evidence register for the case.

  6. 06

    Defend your work

    Present the project pack, respond to challenge and correct unsupported conclusions.

Included learning units

Understand the tools in context.

These units can also be studied independently. The full methodology programme includes an application exercise to connect them to the project.

VT0008: Additionality Assessment

Investment-analysis procedures in Step 3 where required by VM0047 section 7.3.3. This is not a requirement to apply the entire tool.
