Designed
to offer a service which falls half way between our
bespoke training and standard programme of courses,
NEF have created a series of Sustainable Energy training
modules which can be combined together to form anything
from a whole days worth of training, to a short lunchtime
seminar.
There
are a total of 22 modules which have been grouped under
the areas: Carbon Reduction, Energy Awareness, Energy
Management & Monitoring, Energy Policy Energy Saving,
Funding and Renewable Energy.
Although based in
Milton Keynes, NEF is happy to run sustainable energy
workshops and training at other venues around the country.
Courses
can be tailored to suit individual requirements and
can (for example) focus on one or more renewable technologies,
sustainable energy more generally; the development of
energy or climate change strategies or meeting the Merton
Rule. Requesting a bespoke service can be a very cost
effective way of meeting your staff's training objectives
and ensuring that the training covers exactly what is
needed.
NEF
have experience in delivering this type of training
to local councillors ; local authority staff and energy
advice centre employees and other organisations.
