Stay Warm, Stay Well - Free Fuel Poverty and Energy Awareness Courses
Created: 17/10/2016
News/Events Category: General NewsFuel poverty is a major problem in Scotland. More than one in three people can’t afford to heat their homes to an adequate level. For those living in fuel poverty, the consequences are ill health, discomfort and debt. It often means choosing between heating and eating.
Energy Action Scotland (EAS) campaigns for an end to fuel poverty and works to turn cold, damp houses into warm, dry homes. EAS has recently secured further funding from SSE to provide training, free of charge, to front line staff responsible for looking after the health, wellbeing and social welfare of vulnerable people.
This energy efficiency training will enable a range of organisations to provide appropriate and effective advice and information to clients, helping them to obtain all the help and support that’s available. The following free training is available and more information can be found on their flyer (PDF download).
One day fuel poverty/energy efficiency training
Places are available on a first come, first served basis. These courses will be delivered in a wide range of locations throughout Scotland, more information on locations and dates can be found via the flyer above. For organisations with a number of staff EAS can provide the training in their own premises.In order to ensure optimum access to this training, EAS may contribute towards travel costs for participants where possible. Participants will receive a certificate for Continued Personal Development (CPD) purposes.
One week Energy Awareness, City & Guilds (Level 3)
A limited number of places will be available to those completing the one day training. This training will be delivered from a central location.
