FREE TRAINING FOR FRONT LINE STAFF
Fuel poverty is a major problem in Scotland. More than one in four people can’t afford to heat their homes to an adequate level. For those living in fuel poverty, the consequences are ill health, discomfort and debt. This often means choosing between heating and eating.
We provide free Stay Warm Stay Well training, to front line staff responsible for looking after the health, wellbeing, and social welfare of vulnerable people. This updated energy efficiency training will enable a range of organisations in Scotland, to provide appropriate and effective advice and information to clients, helping them to obtain all the help and support that’s available.

Course details
How you will study
The course is typically delivered online via Microsoft Teams
The course is a one-day course. The course is delivered in two sessions. Each session consists of a PowerPoint delivery followed by a Q&A session. Participants must attend both sessions on the same day to be eligible to receive a certificate for Continued Personal Development (CPD). Pre and Post evaluation forms will be issued to all those who attend. By completing these, you may be eligible for one of the sponsored Energy Awareness, City & Guilds (Level 3) spaces we have available. We often receive funding to deliver this training for free. The funding requirements mean we are only able to provide the training to participants who must offer help and support to clients solely in Scotland and not extend to the rest of the UK. Hear from people who have attended our Stay Warm, Stay Well training about their experience and what they gained. Do you know someone who is cold at home or who struggles to afford their fuel bills? If so, this free training can help you to find solutions. Please click on your preferred date on the list below which will take you to the appropriate booking page.
