Here’s what offshore wind professionals say about the course
This is a really good preparation course for people working with sustainability and biodiversity issues around offshore wind, whom are not already experts. The most valuable parts of the course are being exposed to many of the basic issues and concepts, when working with environmental assessments, sustainability etc. in relation to offshore wind.
I started this course to learn about sustainability for organisations. The course is very well structured, which takes you from the very basics to the in-depth knowledge about Sustainability to certain frameworks which now have become integral for the functioning of any organisation. Certifications, Monitoring, & Reporting are standard practices which every organisation have to follow to survive in the competitive world, and getting knowledge from experts in the field does help. Case studies and the fun test your knowledge is one of the best elements one can find in the coursework. I would suggest this course to those looking for a framework design and would like to include such practices in their long-term strategy of organisational planning.
I was very impressed at the content and the way it was presented. Sometimes, courses can be over-complicated and use too many flashy graphics which detract from the learning, but I am glad to say that I found everything very helpful and the narrative very slick.
I am new to this subject but learnt so much about sustainability from this course, more than I thought I would, and I am so pleased with myself for taking it all in.
Thank you again and I hope to do more courses in the near future.
