The information is excellent and very detailed. One suggestion would be to have real people converse about the standards and to review real sustainability reports that use the GRI standards as best practices and concrete examples. The computer generated voice is easy to understand, but very monotonous.

The platform is not working on Safari (at some point, I could not move forward, it all went round over and over again), and there is no indication whatsoever that Safari is not proper or the course is not Safari-friendly.
Moreover, since the course is part of a certification programme, and presumably those taking it are aware of all other GRI Standards, the first part of the course, which is charged for by GRI, is mandatory but a waste of time for whoever takes the course.
Lastly, I expect that the course is somehow up to date, i.e. not referencing information released in 2020, although there are more recent, valuable reports.

a bit duplicated
some contents are duplicated and explanation is a bit redundant. over all, I think it is well structured and useful for learners who would like to understand GRI standards contents.

GRI training knowledge
The GRI training courses are exzellent for keeping your knowledge up to date and develop you subjekt-specific Expertise.
Each course contains insightful content. If possible, it would be beneficial for GRI Academy to include real-world examples that clearly illustrate theoretical concepts, as this would enhance learners
The GRI courses provide a clear overview of sustainability reporting data based on the GRI Standards and other relevant sustainability reporting frameworks, enabling further knowledge development and practical application in organizational work.

My experience with the GRI Academy has been extremely positive. The training materials are well-structured, practical, and aligned with the latest GRI Standards. The platform is user-friendly, and the course content goes beyond theory to provide real-world applications, which makes it very valuable for professionals in sustainability and reporting.
The Academy team also communicates clearly and provides timely updates, making the learning process smooth and professional. I particularly appreciated the global perspective and the emphasis on ESG integration, which are both essential for today’s sustainability practitioners.
I would recommend GRI Academy to anyone looking to strengthen their expertise in sustainability reporting and align with international best practices.
Double Materiality Assessment under the ESRS
The Double Materiality Assessment under the ESRS course has relevant and up-to-date content. Although it mentions the possibility of downloading an Excel resource (which I didn't find available) and some links to supplementary resources are not useful, the teaching method is appropriate as it allows for a better understanding of the content through case analysis.

The GRI training modules are incredibly packed with useful information, various decision-making scenarios from a practitioners perspective, and interactive examples that describe everything and how to use the various resources and apply sound tactics for meeting various reporting principles.
Good content but incomplete service
The course content was good. However, contrary to the stated 'issuance of certificate', no certificate has been issued despite completing the feedback and sending multiple reminders.
GRI Academy
To be honest. The structure of E-learning content is very good. It is very clear, simple to understand.
