How has The Natural Step training worked for others?
“The Natural Step’s four system conditions for sustainability were the key element of the course for me. These four conditions made sense both practically and intuitively, and provide an essentially simple concept for defining sustainability.” Ed Kiddie, Medical Officer of Health, Nelson Marlborough District Health Board
“This course provided an exceptionally stimulating and motivating learning environment. It perfectly complemented the TNS model which provides a very clear and practical understanding of sustainability for implementation in the real world.” Sean Barnes, Senior Manager, Aurecon (formerly Connell Wagner)
“This course highlighted logical thinking with an emphasis on business or organisational success rather than feeling too green. The tools are useful and with experience will be relatively simple to use. I would recommend this course to any business or organisation who wishes to compete and be successful in today's market”. Michelle Elborn, Sustainability Coordinator, Tauranga City Council
