The content covered can be applied to any job role across the sector to ensure environmental challenges are incorporated and managed in a construction project.. Following the initial introduction to environmental awareness you will continue to discover the chosen renewable technology in more detail. The trainer in that specific area will then introduce you to the equipment in the renewables centre and explain the principles of this technology in further detail.
