Build your career with net zero knowledge
This is a fully funded five-week green skills bootcamp for technically minded people and sustainable start-ups delivered by London South Bank University (LSBU).
We're on the hunt for future workers, leaders, and innovators, as these bootcamps offer real-world employable skills in sustainable engineering - from solar power to the circular economy.
You'll benefit from learning in small groups of 12 participants and the next course starts on:
- Monday 2 September 2024
The bootcamps are supported by the Mayor of London and HM Government, Department for Education.
What will I learn?

Here's what our bootcamp graduates had to say:
"It was really interesting to learn more about the different materials and structures of PV cells.
I really enjoyed being in the labs where we got to ask questions to current PhD students and see some of their projects and the machines."
"The teaching was excellent. Both Ben and Henrique made the content and lessons very engaging.
The topics were interesting and a good mix between labs, lectures, and group work. The workshop rooms in the Hub are a great space."
