AGF In PERSON ASSessor training returns
AGF are delighted to be back in person, in the classroom, delivering our coveted Environmental Assessor training.
Hosted by Edinburgh Napier University, our industry leading 2 day environmental assessor training will run on 21st and 22nd September 2023.
This our first in class training since 2019 and as the global events industry seeks to become sustainable, with government bodies such as DCMS in the UK calling for environmental standards for festivals, there has never been such demand.
The training focuses on the key operational issues that impact the environment and is designed to equip students with all the skills and knowledge of environmental operations and sustainability at events.
Students will learn and understand the key operational issues of events which create an environmental and social impact as well as issues to do with communication and behaviour change legislation and self regulation. The training is designed to develop knowledge and skills needed to undertake environmental assessments.
The course which is Stage 1 of our assessor training also provides the opportunity to move onto Stage 2 which focuses on the practical application of the knowledge and skills to become a fully qualified A Greener Future assessor, able to undertake environmental assessment of events, festivals and venues worldwide.
Successful completion of the two day course is valid for a period of three years, after which students will need to renew their training.
The training is also very relevant for those who want to work in event sustainability or to improve understanding, including event organisers, local authorities, suppliers, academics and researchers as well as those who are passionate about developing their skills in event sustainability.
“It can be daunting for event organisers to know where to start with sustainability, so as an AGF assessor it’s a pleasure to be able to support events to better understand their impacts and how to make improvements. I would really recommend the assessor training for the solid foundation of knowledge it provides across all areas of live events. Becoming an assessor then gives you the chance to apply this learning on the ground, and from small community events to large multi-day music festivals, every assessment I’ve been involved with has offered so much valuable learning and the opportunity to connect with brilliant people at different stages of their sustainability journey”.
