About the free training course

The course has been designed to give you new skills and tools so that you can successfully improve the resource efficiency and environmental performance of your organisation – and, of course, save money too. Written by resource efficiency experts, each short Green Champions training module packs in knowledge and experience that will accelerate your understanding of the benefits of resource efficiency.

Bite-sized, interactive foundation training

The foundation course introduces the opportunities and threats that are driving Scottish organisations to become more resource efficient, and then quickly guides you, step-by-step, through the process of making your organisation more resource efficient.

The course contains nine bite-sized lessons, each taking around 10 – 15 minutes to complete. Quizzes along the way test your knowledge and enhance your learning.

Once the course has been completed, a course certificate is awarded and you can continue your learning with the practical and advanced modules.

Practical Modules

Practical modules provide training on a range of skills and techniques that will help you to bring about and enjoy savings for the long term. You are encouraged to pick and choose the modules that are appropriate for your organisation.

Advanced modules

These modules cover advanced skills and techniques that will help you bring about further improvements in your organisation. Building upon the techniques learned in the foundation training, the advanced modules can be completed in the order that best suits you and your organisation.
