These training are group under the following category.

Awareness Courses: These courses are one day courses designed to give candidates an insight into specific issues to spike their interest and help their understanding so that they can make informed decisions. These courses will not exceed a 10hr- one day session. However corporate organizations can arrange for special concessions that will be appropriate and convenient for them at a negotiable investment. Some of these courses shall include practical and field visits.

Basic Courses: These courses are two day courses designed to give candidates a basic knowledge of the areas covered and prepare them for professionalism and competency. These courses are designed for those with little or no previous experience in the subject matter but with a valid interest to grow and specialize in that area. Corporate organizations can arrange to train their employees with a special arrangement. Some of these courses shall include practical and field visits.

Business Circle: These courses are one to two day courses designed to introduce candidates to the business and profitability of environmental management and sustainable development. We call them “eco-business” and “Ecopreneurship” training courses. These courses are opened to any and every one interested in the subject matter such as business owners, potential EcoPreneurs, government officials, house wives etc. Anybody with the determination and tenacity to “run and win” has a place in these courses. Ecopreneurial businesses are the 21st century gold mine. This is where “environment” and money meet to trigger “naira-rain”.

Professional Courses: These courses are designed to be industry-focuses and solution-oriented professional and competency-based training courses with the aim to develop a capable, skilled and competent workforce that will deliver on quality standards and time. All training courses are custom-designed for sectoral and sub-sectoral aspects of each industry group with key specifications to ensure skill and competency is delivered.
