Update on CiLCA Availability
We wanted to inform you that the CiLCA Portfolio Guide is currently in the process of being updated, and SLCC have confirmed that it will be more user friendly. There is also an exciting new learning platform which will replace EMMA, and she will go live on 2nd February 2026. As part of this transition, trainers will undergo retraining to ensure they are fully prepared to deliver the updated qualification to the highest standard.
As a result, we will not be able to offer CiLCA training until early 2026. We appreciate your understanding during this period of development and improvement, and we look forward to supporting you with the new and enhanced CiLCA experience in the future.
