Get Started

Course Information

The course begins by teaching about fossil fuels and their contribution to global warming. It then discusses the greenhouse effect, followed by climate action by governments and the road to net zero. From there, the course delves into theory about the five low carbon technologies and introduces practical learning tasks on Quantum Green Skills Facilities with the aim of bridging the gap between theory and practical learning.

Student Testimonials

Here’s what our students have to say

I’m a more hands-on person and the ability to be able to work on systems which involve sustainability, new technology, was amazing. I’m a hands-on learner, I will learn more when I’m doing something. With the knowledge I’ve gained from Quantum’s course, I can move into sustainability and renewable sources of technology. Many plumbers nowadays only know the old stuff that isn’t renewable. I get to stand out now.

Dylan,
Plumbing Student

This is the first course I’ve taken in sustainable energy. As a plumber, I want to know as much as I can about the industry and new technologies. I liked this course because there was more of a practical aspect. I’ve learnt bits and pieces from other courses, but this course brings it as a whole. If I have a customer who wants to move on to something that’s new and green, i’ll be able to advise them.
