Training and Events

Our Conscious Connections events and Carbon Literacy Training are designed to bring wedding professionals together across the UK to foster a community rooted in purpose, planet, and progress.

Training Carbon Literacy for Wedding Pros

We’ve developed the Carbon Literacy Training for Wedding Pros, a course that’s specifically designed for those working in the wedding industry.

The course will give you the knowledge and the tools you need to be confident when talking about climate change. The course will take you from the basics of climate science, and what is happening with the climate emergency; through to how this will impact everyone, enabling you to pledge relevant carbon reducing actions in your life, work & industry.

Join over 150,000 others in becoming certified ‘Carbon Literate’ and help embed a widespread low–carbon culture

How it works

In person and online

We host both in person and online sessions, designed designed for those working in the wedding industry.

It’s the perfect course for businesses and individuals that want to make a positive change and take action on climate change through their role.

Course fees

The course is £80 per person plus a £15 certificate fee. For members, there is no cost to the training, we just ask you to cover the certification fee.

Completing the course

On successful completion of your Carbon Literacy training, after submitting your actions, you can become certified as ‘Carbon Literate’.

After completing the course, you’ll be required to complete Participant Evidence, which is sent to the Carbon Literacy Project for approval. Once the form has been approved you will receive your certificate.

Group training

We also offer group training, so if you have a team, or want to bring a larger group together to do the training, please let us know and we can arrange a date for you.
