NetRegs offers a series of e-learning courses aimed mainly at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), designed to explain what businesses need to do in order to comply with environmental regulations. There are also courses that cover good practice and suggest ways for businesses to reduce their overall environmental impacts, often saving money in the process.

This series of engaging e-learning courses cover the basics of good environmental practice. They can be accessed any number of times and are useful for staff training or awareness-raising, or for individual self-development.

Each course ends with a short quiz which checks your understanding. The site then allows you to record your progress.
