Local Environmental Quality Training

Our training covers a range of issues, including environmental quality, legislation and behaviour change. Our research has found that issues such as environmental quality are extremely important to people and that we all want to live somewhere that is clean and unspoilt.

Many of our courses contribute to the Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland (REHIS) continuous professional development scheme (CPD), and you will find this information on the relevant course pages.

Please look over our training courses below and if there is a course you would like to attend, please email LEQ@keepscotlandbeautiful.org with the name of the course and your preferred contact details and we can discuss requirements and costs.
