We offer a variety of levels of training, from short introductory sessions through to advanced accredited courses, so we can support you whatever the stage of your sustainability journey. Plus, we provide a variety of certification for our training, helping to recognise and celebrate your achievements.
Our training is always tailored to the Scottish context, and often we work with clients to ensure it is bespoke and relevant to their context, priorities and audiences.

Liked that [Climate Ready Classrooms for Primary] taught us something that is important to the world, and that change needs to happen now. Gave us the tools to solve the climate change problems in our school.
