It’s vital that cash-strapped organisations eager to get involved in the renewable energy revolution get an early warning of financial backing..
So it’s timely news that Edinburgh-based European Energy Centre has alerted the market to new funding that’s just been announced to support individuals wishing to take up places on the EEC’s upcoming Renewable Energy Consultant Expert Certificate courses:
The European Energy Centre is the professional body for education in renewable energy, embracing the United Nations Environment Programme European Energy Centre, and the EEC awards internationally recognised qualifications and is accredited by the SQA.
