The Marine Renewable Energy Course gives energy, environmental, and project professionals a structured, comprehensive understanding of the full spectrum of marine renewable energy technologies — from offshore wind and wave and tidal energy, through Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion and salinity gradient power, to project development, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder engagement.
The oceans represent one of the most significant untapped energy resources on the planet. As the global transition to clean energy accelerates, marine renewable energy is moving rapidly from experimental technology to commercial reality — creating a growing need for professionals who understand how these technologies work, how projects are developed, and how environmental and community considerations are managed.
This course addresses that need directly. Delegates develop a clear, technically grounded understanding of each marine energy technology, the site assessment and feasibility tools used to evaluate projects, the environmental impacts and mitigation strategies involved, and the regulatory and financing frameworks that govern marine renewable energy development.
The Marine Renewable Energy Training is built for professionals who want to contribute meaningfully to the clean energy transition with the technical knowledge and project development capability to do so.
The Marine Renewable Energy Course is designed to develop a thorough, practically applicable understanding of marine renewable energy technologies, project development processes, environmental management, and stakeholder engagement equipping delegates to contribute effectively to marine energy projects and policy.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
The Marine Renewable Energy Training is designed for energy, environmental, project, and policy professionals who work in or are moving toward the marine renewable energy sector — and who want a structured, comprehensive understanding of how marine energy technologies are developed, managed, and deployed.
This course is suitable for:
The Marine Renewable Energy Course is delivered through a structured, technology-by-technology learning approach that progresses from marine energy fundamentals through to individual technology deep-dives, feasibility assessment, and project development practice. Each day focuses on a distinct marine energy domain — building a complete and connected picture of the full marine renewable energy landscape.
Case examples, feasibility assessment exercises, and stakeholder engagement discussions are integrated throughout — ensuring delegates can connect technical knowledge to the practical realities of marine energy project development.

Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for energy engineers, project developers, environmental managers, renewable energy professionals, government officials, finance specialists, and coastal planners who work in or want to develop expertise in marine renewable energy. It is suitable for both experienced energy professionals expanding into the marine sector and those building their foundation in clean energy project development for the first time.
Delegates will develop a thorough understanding of the full spectrum of marine renewable energy technologies — offshore wind, wave energy, tidal energy, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), and salinity gradient energy. Each technology is covered in terms of its operating principles, current development status, site and resource assessment requirements, environmental considerations, and feasibility challenges.
Environmental impact assessment and mitigation is covered for each technology type throughout the course — examining the specific ecological, physical, and social impacts associated with offshore wind, wave and tidal, and OTEC development, and the mitigation strategies used to manage them. Delegates develop a balanced, evidence-based understanding of how marine energy projects can be developed responsibly within sensitive marine environments.
A general understanding of energy systems or environmental management is helpful, but the course begins with a comprehensive introduction to marine renewable energy sources and the clean energy transition before progressing to specific technology and project development topics. Delegates from engineering, environmental science, policy, and finance backgrounds will find the content accessible and directly relevant to their professional contexts.
Feasibility assessment is addressed across multiple days and consolidated in Day 5 — covering how to evaluate resource potential, site suitability, environmental impact, regulatory requirements, and financial viability for marine renewable energy projects. Delegates leave with a structured feasibility assessment framework applicable across different marine energy technology types and project development stages.
Day 5 covers the permitting, regulatory, and financing dimensions of marine renewable energy project development — examining the approvals required, the regulatory frameworks that govern marine spatial planning and environmental compliance, and how these processes are navigated in practice. Delegates leave with a clear understanding of the regulatory pathway a marine energy project must follow from concept to consent.
