We all need to play our part and work together to tackle the climate emergency that we face; be that through choosing a green’ job or changing our lifestyle.
However, In order to make significant changes, we need to improve our understanding of what climate change means, the impact it will have and what we can do about it.
In light of this, Bishop Auckland College have launched a fully funded Level 2 qualification in ‘Understanding Climate Change and Environmental Awareness’.
Who can access the course?
The course is accessible to anyone over the age of 19 and to fit with busy working lives can be completed via self-study. This means that the course can be completed whenever you have a free moment, with the option of home or on-campus studying. A personal tutor will be assigned to you for extra support and feedback.
How long does the course take?
You will have up to 2 months to complete the course and it’s expected to take up around 45 minutes of your time, per week.
What’s included?
The course pack includes two information booklets and two assignments. The assignments are made up of a series of questions and the study manual has all the information you need to finish the course; but a little homework and extra research always helps to get the best out of your course. There are 3 main modules within the workbooks as listed below:
- Understanding climate change, sustainability, and environment protection.
- Understand industry and the environment
- Understand resource efficiency and waste management
Once you have completed and achieved the qualification, you will gain the knowledge and understanding to act and encourage positive change within your workplace and at home. On successful completion of the course, a Level 2 certificate will be awarded to you.
The courses have been a huge hit so far with some amazing reviews from students. A new team member of the low carbon team at Durham County Council shared his experience:
“I was keen on learning more about environmental awareness and climate change and I jumped at the opportunity to learn more about the impact we have on the planet and what changes we could all make.
The team at BA college were friendly and supportive and the course itself was very informative and straight forward to complete. Within a few weeks of completing the course an opportunity came up to apply to join the Low Carbon Team at DCC and I believe the knowledge gained from this course directly contributed to my success.”
And a lecturer herself at Bishop Auckland College shared her thoughts:
“I would recommend this training course to employers, employees, people in education and the wider community. They will benefit from this CPD opportunity on a personal level as well as any employment positions held. Everyone would be well supported through the training course by the extremely attentive personal tutors at Bishop Auckland College.”
