The Program is a project of the Australasian Environmental Law Enforcement and Regulators network (“AELERT”) of which we are a member.

The training is all delivered by experienced trainers who are currently working in environmental regulation. The training materials and scenarios are based on environmental issues and situations relevant to regulatory officers, so participants can see a direct link between the training and their day to day roles.
Courses are open to all environmental regulators however there are significant savings on enrolment fees for AELERT members.
