Barnsley College is offering 100 free places on their Environmental Awareness Training in 2013.

The Level 3 Award in Understanding the Fundamental Principles and Requirements of Environmental Technology Systems is for people with roles that involve the management or specification of environmental technologies, and people who have to inform or advise customers and clients about environmental technologies, their use and benefits.

The 2 day course is undertaken at Barnsley College with unrestricted access to the Think Low Carbon Centre, a state of the art sustainable facility developed in collaboration with the Building Research Establishment, a recognised world leader in this field.
