New sustainability training course launched in East Midlands

A new course which could be instrumental in helping companies in Yorkshire and the East Midlands win business, reduce energy costs and avoid prosecution, is now being delivered by leading training provider NLT Training Services.

Following accreditation by the Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment (IEMA), leading training provider NLT has been announced as the sole training provider in the East Midlands and Humberside for the Level 2 Working with Environmental Sustainability course.

NLT’s accreditation is being hailed as a significant step forward in helping businesses in the area understand one of the most talked about and urgent issues affecting the whole planet right now: sustainability. Sustainability is at the forefront of new policies and government agenda. The course may prove vital in winning bids for tenders and can reduce the risk of fines and prosecutions.

The new one-day course, is being held on 24 August at NLT’s Chesterfield offices in Brimington, and on 26 August at the training provider’s Scunthorpe site.

It covers everything from sustainable buildings to design and operations across all industry sectors, providing a practical introduction to Environmental Sustainability, equipping delegates with the knowledge, understanding, and motivation to make a positive difference within their organisation.

Andy Sheppard, Chief Executive of NLT said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer this course and anticipate high demand for it. It represents a big step forward for sustainability issues amongst businesses in the region. Companies cannot afford to ignore sustainability any longer; it is top of the Government’s agenda, having been announced in the recent Budget that it is pushing for a global climate deal that keeps the goal of limiting global warming to two degrees.

“I would urge businesses now to begin embedding environmental sustainability not only into the fabric of the company but also job roles within it; the Level 2 Working with Environmental Sustainability course will enable them to do that.”

Places on the courses are limited and companies are being urged to sign up now for the course which costs £300 per delegate, or is available for a limited period with a special introductory offer of £250 per delegate.

NLT Training Services is one of the region’s leading training providers, operating from sites in Chesterfield and Scunthorpe. It is a specialist trainer and provider of apprentices in welding, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering as well as industry-leading commercial training courses.
