Supported by Skills Development Scotland, through more than £175,000 from the National Transition Training Fund, CSIC is offering valuable training for people in the construction sector looking to upskill and reskill, supporting a Scotland-wide transition towards a zero-carbon built environment.

The role of sustainable insulation materials, including homegrown alternatives, and mass timber solutions will also form a core part of the course.
Training includes both online learning and live demonstrations at CSIC’s Innovation Factory in Hamilton…
The launch of the programme follows the success of the first tranche of Low Carbon Learning which was Scotland’s first publicly funded training programme in Passivhaus and EnerPHit, the globally recognised approaches for the design, construction and retrofit of highly energy-efficient buildings…
