About This Course

The course is suitable for staff who need a simple introduction to climate change and environmental awareness as part of wider workplace training or sustainability discussions.

For Irish organisations, it can support general environmental awareness, but it should not be presented as a substitute for an environmental management system, legal advice or site-specific environmental controls.

Using this Introduction to Climate Change course in Ireland

This online course can support Irish workplace training records for employees, supervisors, managers and contractors who need structured workplace awareness training. It is useful where an employer wants a consistent awareness module, a refresher option or a documented learning record that can be assigned to staff without arranging a classroom session.

The course should still be matched to the learner's role, the work activity, the site risk assessment and any local procedures. Online training is strongest when it is used alongside supervision, workplace instruction and practical checks where the topic involves equipment, physical tasks or site-specific controls.

Phoenix STS presents this course for Irish learners and employers as part of a wider training matrix. The course information PDF and sample certificate on this page help managers check the content before assigning it to staff.
