Questions about choosing a programme

How do I choose between similar courses?

Use the audience, learning level and practical focus in each summary. For example, Climate Scenario Analysis focuses on choosing and interpreting scenarios, while Climate Stress Testing focuses on stress-test design and results. If you are unsure, name the courses you are considering in the enquiry form.

Are there options for someone new to ESG or finance?

The catalogue identifies foundation-level subjects, including Sustainable Finance Foundations and introductory financial-capability programmes. Tell us about your current knowledge and what you need to be able to do so we can discuss a suitable starting point.

Can a team enquire about learning together?

Yes. Use the enquiry form to describe the team, its current knowledge and the capability you want to develop. We can then discuss a learning scope appropriate to the group.

How practical is the learning?

Each summary identifies an exercise, question or output that participants can work through, such as mapping a data workflow or outlining an action plan. The purpose is to connect the subject to a task participants can understand and discuss.

Will a workshop produce finished documents for our organisation?

Learning exercises and sample outputs are distinct from commissioned client work. If you need a completed business case, financial model or organisation-specific assessment, describe that requirement in your enquiry so we can consider the appropriate advisory scope.

What should I include in a programme enquiry?

Name the programme or topic, say whether the enquiry is for you or a team, and explain what you would like to learn or do afterwards. Select “Programmes & Workshops” in the Contact form.

Interested in a programme or workshop?
