Evaluate Climate Change Coaches Training Course

Oxford Brookes University has been working with Climate Change Coaches to evaluate their flagship training course “green transition coach” for sustainability professionals. The impact evaluation was designed to identify the perceived value of the programme to participants and to drive understanding of learning impact across differing programme components. Oxford Brookes Business School independently assessed the course, providing Climate Change Coaches with feedback to improve the content for future cohorts.

“We were really pleased to be able to work with Oxford Brookes University to independently evaluate our flagship training course for sustainability professionals. Dr Karen Cripps and her team at Oxford Brookes were both rigorous and a pleasure to work with, and we would recommend them to others looking to learn from academia. We found Oxford Brookes Business School to be both approachable and flexible, with a real understanding of both what it means to work with businesses like ours as well as a deep understanding of the work of our clients.”
