Carbon Literacy Refresher
You've done your Carbon Literacy course, you got the certificate, but now you're wondering what's changed and how to get up to date with the latest from the world of climate science.
If that's you, then this course is for you!
This course is for anyone who has previously done a Carbon Literacy course (via Sustainable(ish) or elsewhere), and got their certificate, but would love a 'refresher'. In the immediate days and weeks after your Carbon Literacy course, you may well have been fired up and raring to go, but as time goes on, and life happens, and global geo-politics continues to lurch along from one crisis to the next, there's every chance your enthusiasm and your 'can do' attitude might have taken a bit of a battering.
Come and join me on this refresher course to help you to:
- get up to speed with the latest climate science and any changes since you did your course
- feel re-enthused about the impacts and influence you can have
- connect with other people on the same journey as you
You might also be looking to revise some of the content if you've been thinking about creating your own Carbon Literacy course, or other material to share with others.

How does it work?
Courses are delivered online via Zoom - there are a variety of dates and times available.
The course is 4 hours of training - some a single four hour session, and some are run as two two hour sessions.
We will reflect on what we learnt (and can remember!) from your Carbon Literacy training, and discuss what worked well, and what the sticking points have been with the Carbon Literacy pledges you made (in a judgement free zone! No one is going to take your Carbon Literacy certificate off you if you didn't manage to complete your pledges!). And then we'll revise the core content of the Carbon Literacy course, with updates where appropriate. At the end, there's no re-certification process to go through, but you will be 'actively encouraged' to think about next steps to help you turn your new learning (or revision) into action.

FAQs
No. The Carbon Literacy Project only issues one Carbon Literacy certificate per learner, even if you did multiple full Carbon Literacy courses.
No. I'm not aware of any other organisations doing 'refresher' courses, and there isn't a formal pathway or accreditation process set up by the Carbon Literacy Project.
No. If you've done your training with me, then more of the content will be familiar, and you will have a better idea of what to expect from training with me (non stop lols and the highest calibre training there is, obvs...). But if you've done your training with another organisation and want a refresher, you're very welcome!
Yes. This course is a refresher, so assumes you will have seen a lot of the content before.
No! If it was only last month, not a huge amount will have changed, but if you did your course several years and are worried you won't remember much, that's the whole point of the course!
No. The full Carbon Literacy courses are all accredited with specific audiences or sectors in mind. For example, you might have done a business course, or a course via the NHS etc. This refresher is a more generic approach, although if you have specific questions about your sector, I will do my best to accommodate them.
