The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course in Environmental Planning and Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Protection Laws. Environmental planning is the process of facilitating decision-making that supports land development, taking into account the natural environment, governance factors, social, political and economic factors.

Environmental planning provides an interconnected system for achieving sustainability, and one of its main goals is to create sustainable communities that seek to preserve and protect unused lands. The course also focuses on developing skills in the field of environmental pollution in industrial processes, occupational safety, and identifying, preventing and dealing with occupational diseases.
