Last month we let you know that our Soil and Groundwater Risk Assessment course had been updated, and this month we're doing the same for both the Sustainable Remediation Appraisal and Introduction to Brownfield Site Investigation eLearning courses. All three have now been updated to take into account the new Environment Agency Land Contamination Risk Management web pages and any other recent legislative changes.
If you have a .gov.uk email address, please take a look at our special offer on these three courses, starting on 1 May.
We're keen to get back to classroom training for our courses and are looking into Covid-safe training facilities. If you are interested in any of the courses currently marked as "Available on a bespoke basis" under the CL:AIRE Training heading in the right-hand column, please get in touch through the Help Desk so we can look into suitable locations near you.
To round up today, we hope you will join with us in congratulating Richard Froggatt, Chair of CL:AIRE's Board of Trustees, on 10 years in the role. Thank you Richard for your support and contribution over the last decade. You can hear from Richard in his own words and read about some of CL:AIRE's activities over the last 10 years here.
