It's surprising the amount of money and carbon that can be saved through behavioural change alone.

USEA's training packages can help to achieve such savings through inspiring, informing and encouraging individuals to make some small changes. Together, they add up to a lot!

Our training packages will also be of interest if you are striving to hit Carbon Reduction Commitments or working towards accredition for Environmental Management Systems, for example ISO 14001.

TAILORED TRAINING

USEA can offer a range of tailored courses suitable for staff or Councillors, from 45 minute presentations, 2 to 3 hour workshops, through to full day training mixing interaction, discussion and practical exercises.
