Overview
The Essentials of Community Energy and Emissions Management microcredential offers a comprehensive and practical approach to understanding and implementing energy-efficient and clean energy solutions in communities. On-site renewable energy, zero-emission energy-efficient buildings, and zero-carbon transportation are the key themes of this program.
About the program
This microcredential comprises a series of six courses ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 BCIT course credits. Self-paced learning is kept to a minimum, and courses will be delivered mostly as live interaction with the instructor, both in person and online.
The program begins with an exciting in-person kick-off, where students will have the opportunity to connect and set the stage for their learning journey. Over the course of the program, participants will engage in weekly online live sessions, dedicating an average of two hours per week to interactive learning with both peers and experienced instructors. These sessions offer a collaborative environment, fostering a rich exchange of ideas and knowledge. A limited amount of independent learning will be integrated into the program, allowing students to enhance their understanding at their own pace. This delivery format is designed to provide a dynamic and engaging learning experience.
As the program nears its conclusion, students will have the option to come together once again in person to celebrate their accomplishments and reinforce the strong bonds forged throughout the learning process.
