Sustainable Energy Training Modules

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.

An Event to Suit your Needs

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.
