Who should attend a renewable energy or sustainability course?

These courses suit energy and electrical engineers, renewable project developers and planners, plant operations and maintenance staff, sustainability and ESG officers, HSE and environmental professionals, and managers responsible for energy cost or emissions targets.

How long are renewable energy and sustainability courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa renewable energy and sustainability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can renewable energy and sustainability training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa renewable energy and sustainability course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team.
