A new continuing education certificate course in climate change will be offered through the University of the West Indies Open Campus at the beginning of the next academic year.
The programme is aimed not only at teachers and
educators, but also all those involved in industries that will be most directly
affected by climate change, such as tourism, agriculture, water management and
construction. The programme will give participants a thorough understand of
what climate change is, as well as enabling them to examine the implications it
will have on their lives.
The programme consists of four courses, which
will be delivered over two semesters. Because it is conducted through the Open
Campus university, the programme is conducted online, without the need to
physically attend classes.
The initial run of the programme, which will be
a pilot run, will take just 25 students. No prior qualifications are required
to enrol on the course and fees for the pilot run will be reduced to $125 per
course. Thereafter fees will be $250 per course.
Applications
must be submitted before 30 June.
