The Course
It will give you a clear understanding of the key systems and future

surrounding the communication of large and small scale renewable
energy systems, on answering difficult questions and how to support
people looking to make decisions about installing renewable energy
systems.
People attending this course will learn how to:
1) Discuss and explain the role and importance of renewable energy
systems in a low carbon future.
2) Make a case for a local renewable energy project to the media,
local people or a group of councillors.
3) Describe in plain English the merits, and the potential problems,
of the various types of renewable energy systems (wind, solar PV,
solar thermal, heat pumps, biomass) .
4) Answer critical questions in ways that will help those who are
confused or uncertain to see these systems in a positive light.
5) Understand and communicate the current financial mechanisms
including the Feed In Tariff (FIT).
6) Feel confident in supporting people looking to make decisions about
installing a system for their home, business or community
organisation.
Who should attend?
The course is suitable for anyone keen to get their facts straight on
a variety of renewable energy systems and how to communicate them
effectively. Whether you are a business looking to increase your
quality of advice, a local authority or organisation promoting the use
of renewables, or an independent consultant looking to increase your
knowledge, this course will provide you with the key skills needed.
