There are no entry requirements and no prior knowledge about climate change is needed.

Course fee is £175. There may be government funding available for part/all of the course fees - please contact the college for more information.

As part of your course we may organise trips to assist you with your learning. Trips are optional, and you will not be penalised if you choose not to participate.

There are bursaries available to help you with other course costs. Call 01235 216 212 for more information.
