Climate Emergency Training
The Climate Emergency Training course provides a way for students to gain a greater understanding of climate change and its surrounding issues.
This SCQF level 4 course is aimed at secondary school pupils looking to develop their knowledge of climate change and understand what positive decisions they can take to address the causes of climate change.
The course includes a notional 20 hours of learning, activities, and assessment. Successful candidates will achieve 2 credits at SCQF level 4.
Course Aims
- Identify the current causes of climate change.
- Discuss the evidence behind climate change.
- Investigate the physical and social effects of climate change.
- Identify actions we can take to reduce the impact of climate change.
Who will benefit?
- This course will benefit secondary school pupils, their teachers, and the whole school community.
- It is relevant for educators wishing to develop their practise in Learning for Sustainability and is a good adjunct to climate change topics currently covered in geography and environmental science.
Material is primarily delivered by the class teacher, with optional support from a Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) trainer. Student work is shared with the KSB trainer electronically, the trainer then marks the work and provides feedback to the students.

“The course is a perfect way to not only open up positive conversation amongst colleagues, but also for individuals to consider facts and how even small adjustments in behaviours towards climate change can have an impact on the effect. Very enjoyable and would recommend to any school or employer.”
