IEMA and university accredited climate and carbon CPD courses

Delivering a unique suite of advanced carbon footprinting and climate courses

We are proud to deliver a number of carbon footprinting CPD courses on behalf of Northumbria University. The suite of half-day, one-day and two day courses include a number of modules accredited by IEMA – the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment.

Our structured courses are suitable for environmental and sustainability managers, energy and facilities managers, company directors and business owners from any industry or sector. In addition, we deliver industry-specific Carbon Champion training and climate workshops within organisations around the UK.

SmartCarbon’s Climate Reality check presentation was superb! It raised all the right challenges but in a way that was a lot more accessible than I’ve seen elsewhere.
