Education
The Centre offers a range of courses which are between a day and a week in length. Some of these courses are offered to the general public while others are accredited courses for professional installers. CAT is involved with school education through training teachers, producing materials and offering special tours and materials on site.
In 2000, the Centre became home to a post graduate degree course, based at CAT and covers many areas of environmental science and its business applications. In 2007, the Graduate School for the Environment was founded by the team behind the existing MSc, who have since left. The new organisation is affiliated with CAT and although it continues to be validated by the University of East London it is no longer a part of the university.
The Centre has run a Professional Diploma in Architecture course in Advanced Environmental and Energy Studies, since 2008, which allows students to obtain an accredited Part II architectural qualification.
