The new course is this first to be designed and delivered jointly between the Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) and the Centre for Training and Development (CETAD). CETAD are part of the Faculty of Health & Medicine and specialise in courses for the NHS and other public and private sectors related to health, social care and biomedicine.
Building on LEC’s highly successful Postgraduate Certificate in Energy & Fuels from Waste, the new course includes new business management element provided by CETAD focusing on developing leadership skills to empower staff and move organisations forward.
The part-time course is designed for business people and senior managers from a wide range of interested parties and sectors including power generators, utilities and fuel producers, policymakers, analysts and consultants, members of local government with responsibility for waste planning, waste management industry; energy intensive industries; developers and technology providers and waste generators (e.g. supermarkets, financiers, project developers and legal professionals).
Delivered by top practitioners in their field, the course leads to a Postgraduate Certificate with options to progress to an MSc. It includes site visits to operational facilities including municipal-waste incinerator, an animal-waste processing plant and a large, municipal waste processing facility across the North West to illuminate the theory and gain first-hand experience.
“The course is well-structured and well-presented, touching upon the key technical, financial and political issues the EFW sector is faced with. Delivered through a balance of interactive lectures from practising professionals and from site visits to operational plants, the course provides a great platform for people new and old within the sector to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of the industry.” Steve Conry, Landfill Gas Area Manager, Viridor
The course will be offered through LEC and CETAD as part of their training portfolio.
