You will need to attend all four sessions to complete the course.

This course consists of three elements:

1. Pre Course Work. Reading and self-study to be completed before the course begins. You will be provided with all the materials you need to do this. 2-3 hours

2. Three online training sessions, each 2.5 hours long, with a small amount of work to be completed in-between sessions. These sessions will be interactive and include a mixture of theory, activities and opportunities to practice the skills you'll need to deliver a Carbon Literacy course. 7.5 hours in total on Zoom, plus up to one hour in total between sessions

3. Practice teaching session. A chance to deliver a short session teaching a section of an actual Carbon Literacy course and receive feedback from the tutor and your fellow learners. You'll also offer feedback to other learners on their practice teaching sessions. Prep time (approx. 2 hours) plus up to 3 hours on zoom
