What is your role at BRE Academy, and how do you support our learners or clients?

I’m a BREEAM trainer: I deliver BREEAM live training courses, but mainly, I develop the online training offering, including Continuous Professional Development and Assessor training modules.

Which areas of training or services do you most commonly support?

BREEAM

What do you think makes BRE Academy training different?

The flexibility that most of the BRE Academy training courses offer, which means you can fit your training within your busy schedule. But mostly, the depth of knowledge and experience the trainers provide, and the fact that our training is firmly rooted in science.

What advice would you give to organisations or individuals looking to upskill?

Sustainability in the built environment is a fast-changing and very competitive discipline and keeping yourself and your staff abreast of changes with the BRE Academy training courses is the best strategy to ensure business longevity and market differentiation.

Where is your favourite place any why?

I love the sea, not only in summer (I love to swim) but in winter too, when is moody and fierce. It brings me calm and a sense of belonging.

What do you love about your role at BRE Academy?

I get to make my dent in the universe by supporting sustainability professionals to make a real difference in the world, at a time when is absolutely critical to focus all our efforts towards a greener future.
