Training and Development

Since its inception, Colbha Consulting has provided training and development programmes.  We have worked with a number of service providers since 2009 and have provided training to more than 50 businesses, social enterprises and community groups.

Previous sessions have included “Financing for Renewable Energy Projects” for Green Power Academy (2010), “Business Planning for Renewable Energy Projects” for Envirolink Northwest (2011), “Business Planning for Community Energy Projects” for Envirolink and the Energy Savings Trust (2011) and “Attracting Finance for Renewables” for Envirolink and the North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership/Climate Change Local Area Support Programme (2011).

Colbha Consulting training works through short presentations followed by interactive sessions designed to be engaging and memorable.  Course participants are not subjected to endless power point slides but instead take part in the training through workshop exercises and case studies.

Feedback from previous participants includes:

insightful, comprehensive, engaging and entirely relevant for the subject in question

excellent and well presented

high quality speakers having genuine knowledge and confidence

particularly engaging and knowledgeable on the subject

Training can be made bespoke for your organisation – please contact us for further details.
