        This cohort left me with three invaluable gifts: a humbling wake up call on the science and logistics of renewable energy, an insight into how many people are dedicated to climate action and the tools needed to influence lasting change. If you're looking for a way to maximise your climate action, this is it!

        The speakers are top notch - informative, energising and inspirational. It’s a perfect balance between teaching you the technical side of the renewable transition for a company and developing your skills to influence decision making within your organisation. A huge variety of backgrounds among the community, with knowledge from all industries.
