Sustainability training courses for businesses

We offer practical sustainability training for UK businesses in five formats: workshops of 3 hours to 2 days, Stickerbook bite-sized video learning, the 12-month Sustainable Business Circle, qualifications and bespoke programmes. Topics range from ESG credentials for procurement and value chain mapping to ISO 14001 and sustainable leadership, for everyone from site teams to the board.

Start with what is prompting the training and who needs to learn. Our pathway finder asks three quick questions and suggests one of six learning pathways, each linking to the relevant courses. If you would rather talk it through, join one of our events or call us on 01926 754061.

Yes. ISO 14001 Technical Training is a 1 day workshop for operational teams, supervisors and site managers working to ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management systems. We are also adding ISEP Green Skills for businesses that train staff in ISO 14001 as part of compliance, which is coming soon.

Training can help your team understand what buyers are asking for and what evidence to gather. Our workshop on how to demonstrate ESG credentials for procurement focuses on this, and Stickerbook can provide evidence of staff learning to include in bids and tenders. Training does not complete a questionnaire for you, but it helps your team answer with confidence.

Wylde Connections is an ISEP Accredited Training Centre, but not every course we run is ISEP accredited. ISEP is the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals. We currently run the ISEP Certificate in Environmental Management and will be adding further ISEP courses, including ISEP Green Skills, which is coming soon. If accreditation matters for your team, ask us which courses carry it before you book.

Yes. Most of our workshops can run online or in person, on dates arranged to suit you, and in-house for your own team. Climate Fresk is the exception, as it runs in person only. Bespoke programmes can be delivered online, in person or hybrid.

The Sustainable Business Circle has a founding rate of £75 a month for the first 50 members, held for 24 months, then £99 a month or £990 a year. Workshops, Stickerbook, qualifications and bespoke programmes are priced to your requirements, and we give you a fixed quote before you commit. All prices exclude VAT.

Stickerbook is a bite-sized learning platform that gives every member of your team access to short training videos on hundreds of sustainability topics. People can learn at their desk, on site or between meetings, and it can provide evidence of staff learning for bids, tenders, accreditations and training KPIs.

A workshop is a single session of 3 hours to 2 days on one topic. The Sustainable Business Circle is a 12-month membership with a 60 minute workshop each month, following our Sustainability Road Map from Diagnose through to Embed and Inspire, so progress builds over the year.

Climate Fresk is a 3 hour collaborative workshop that uses cards based on the science of the IPCC, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to explore the causes and effects of climate change. It runs in person only and is open to everyone, which makes it a good way to build shared understanding across a team. It is also part of our 2 day Sustainable Business Skills workshop.

Yes. We design bespoke green skills and leadership programmes for public sector commissioners, universities and corporate learning and development teams, and we work in partnership with Coventry and Keele universities. Programmes are assessment-led and can be delivered online, in person or hybrid.

No. The pathway finder is a quick, three-question guide that suggests courses to look at. A Training Needs Analysis is a more detailed assessment of the skills each team needs, and we are developing it as a separate service that is coming soon.
