Our in depth Carbon Literacy training, accredited by The Carbon Literacy Project, has been delivered to hundreds of employees

Our Carbon Literacy training is accredited by The Carbon Literacy Project and consists of a day’s worth of learning.

They can be delivered online and in-person and over one or more days. After completing the course, participants can receive a certificate certifying them as “Carbon Literate”.

We have three accredited Carbon Literacy courses – one for local authorities, one for the financial services sector and one for community groups – with each one tailored to the specific challenges and opportunities of the relevant sector.

We have now delivered Carbon Literacy training to hundreds of employees across a diverse range of organisations, including Lloyds Bank, HSBC, Islington Council and local community groups.

Why Carbon Literacy training?

Carbon Literacy training gets everyone in an organisation on the same page when it comes to climate change. It can also help to fine tune the knowledge and skills of people who already work in sustainability.

The training imparts the gravity of the situation, but also inspires action by sharing advice and examples from elsewhere. By looking at our predicament and how we can plot a course to a more hopeful world, Carbon Literacy training can be a powerful galvanising force.

It also intended to be engaging as well as informative. The training is delivered using a mixture of presentation and group exercises, which allow participants to learn through discussion and idea sharing.

All attendees can receive a certificate from The Carbon Literacy Project, certifying them as Carbon Literate. The accredited nature of the course and the certificate can help drive internal buy-in and attendance of the training.

Testimonials and feedback for our Carbon Literacy training

The training was fantastic. It was well structured and had a good balance between presentation and interactive activities. It was very comprehensive and covered everything important. Very well delivered, knowledgeable and engaging trainers. Absolutely brilliant visuals. I cannot think how it could be improved.
Terezie WickendenProgramme officer, climate action, The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames
The Carbon Literacy training with the Three Point Five team was both insightful and thought-provoking. It has inspired me to focus on my own footprint and look at ways in which I can make positive changes for the good of the planet and also how I can influence a wider audience around me in my workplace. Thank you Rachel & team at Three Point Five for a great session.
Andrew MarshallPeople Engagement Lead, HSBC
The folks at Three Point Five not only provide highly accurate and informative content, but content that I could go away and apply in my policy, change and engagement role right away. And, they do it through a great balance of being very well versed in science, policy and action while also being engaging, interactive and dare I say it, fun. Can recommend.
Sinclair LaingPolicy & Strategy Manager at Aberdeen City Council and Founder of Aberdeen Community Energy
The Carbon Literacy course really opens our eyes to both the level of damage we are causing and the urgency with which we need to start changing what we do, both personally and in our workplaces. This is a highly educational experience and includes a number of measures we can all take to reduce emissions and prevent harm going forward. I highly recommend it.
Steve CarrOperational Resilience Director, London Victoria
I attended the Carbon Literacy Training and it was amazing – out of 10, it’s a 10. It was a great insight into why climate change is needed and delivered by professional, friendly and knowledgeable trainers. It certainly has made me act on small changes personally and professionally to support the net zero emissions by 2050.
Karen AlcockOrganisational development officer, Bolton Council
I felt like I had a good base understanding before I entered the course but I was surprised by how much new information I did learn and now feel a lot more confident talking about the facts. I also found the prompt questions really insightful as these sparked discussion in the group and have helped me to retain the information I learned. I would definitely recommend the course.
Tess GormanResponsible Business Consultant, Nationwide
The training was excellent, with a good balance of information and interactive content and excellent presentation. The key points were presented in an accessible way, high quality visual information on the slides and adequate time was given to absorb the points being made. The interactive aspects were very positive as a means of increasing engagement, reinforcing messages and meeting with other participants.
Niall Urquhart, Team leader, sustainability policy, East Dunbartonshire Council
I think everyone should learn about this topic and I can think of no one better equipped to teach it than Three Point Five. Rick obviously cares a great deal about the topic and yet the course is based on facts, not feelings, delivered in a down to earth and compassionate way. Big recommendation for everyone interested, and maybe even more for those not interested.
Jessica MatelskiSupervisory board member, investment advisory committees
You covered a lot of material over the two sessions, but it was all relevant and very clearly expressed. The different types of activity – presentations, multiple choice questions, surveys via the chat box, and group discussions – were motivating and helped the group to bond. All in all, you did an excellent job of designing and presenting the course and I am very happy to have been one of the trainees. It was interesting, informative and comprehensive, and I recommend it keenly.
