Completed from United Kingdom
A solid, professional experience. The course material was well‑structured, with downloadable slide decks that I could adapt for corporate briefings. I particularly appreciated the practical exercise on translating scientific reports into lay‑person language – it helped me meet my goal of improving internal communications at my consultancy. While the pacing was a bit fast at times, the relevance of the content to current UK policy debates made it worthwhile.
The Certificate in Climate Change Communication (Intermediate) hit every learning goal I set for myself. The modules on framing climate narratives for different audiences gave me a concrete toolkit – I now use the "story‑arc" worksheet to craft press releases for my nonprofit. The case studies from the UNFCCC were especially relevant, and the video lectures were clear and professionally produced. Overall, the course exceeded my expectations and I feel confident presenting climate data to stakeholders.
I’m thrilled with how this course boosted my skills! The hands‑on workshops on social media storytelling gave me the confidence to launch a climate‑awareness Instagram series that now has over 10k followers. The reading list, especially the latest IPCC summary, was spot‑on and directly applicable to my research. The enthusiastic tone of the instructors made learning fun, and I left feeling fully equipped to communicate climate issues in my community.
A detailed and insightful program. The deep dive into stakeholder mapping helped me design a communication plan for a renewable‑energy project in Johannesburg, aligning perfectly with my professional objectives. The course PDFs were rich with graphics and local case examples, which added great relevance. Though some sections could use more African context, the overall learning experience was highly satisfactory and the skills gained are already being applied on the ground.
