GGS provides ground gas technical training via a range of webinars, seminars, and full-day training events.
We understand that sometimes it is difficult to understand and digest the volume of standards and best practice guidance. That is why we provide a range of training options that distil key points into more easily understandable forms.
Here are just some of the many topics that we cover:
- Ground gas monitoring technologies
- Landfill and mine gas hazards
- Data acquisition and interpretation
- Risk assessment
- Radon
- Protection design
- Development validation and sub-floor void monitoring
- Internal ambient air monitoring
See the feedback we have received on our training programme at the bottom of this page, which demonstrates the quality of the training we deliver.
Whether you need to brush up on the latest guidance or are new to ground gas contamination issues, simply scroll through the events list below and follow the relevant booking instructions.
Bespoke training
If you are looking for a more tailored solution to train a larger group, we can also offer bespoke training sessions suited to your needs. Our bespoke training can cover a variety of topics including Radon, Verification, Continuous Monitoring and more.
We will work with you to develop a CPD programme that is perfect for your team and impactful on their work. To arrange this, get in touch with us.
This series of webinars provides detailed insights into ground gas issues direct from our team of industry experts. Each one-hour event is designed to be stand-alone but can be combined with the others into a broader body of knowledge. This year we have a range of free and premium webinars. Free webinars cover the basic principles of ground gas and offer sector knowledge. Premium webinars offer advanced knowledge approaches and in depth technical learning opportunities.
We are currently working on our programme of webinars for 2026 but do check back soon for details.

“It truly is an A-Z, leading through ground gas basics which are often overlooked but form the fundamentals on which the assessments are made. Great concept with interaction between all presenters.” Jonathan, Senior Engineer, SANCTUS LTD
“Really enjoyed the day and had a few lightbulb moments!” Mandy, Senior Environmental Protection Officer, East Northants Council
“Very informative and interesting case studies. Good delivery of the presentations and good content. Really enjoyed the Radon talk.” Victoria, Geo-Environmental Engineer, ARUP
“As a regulator, the information provided will be very helpful. Very grateful that I was able to speak to Simon Talbot about a specific case. Simon’s expertise and experience was very helpful in assisting me decide a course of action.” Muttakir Mohammed, Pollution Control Officer, NPTCRC
“Great – excellent hands on course. Good demonstration of installation and verification of ground gas membrane.” Matt, Senior Geo-Environmental Engineer, NHBC
“Very interesting course. It seems that all the attendees are from very reputable companies who focus on the importance of a proper and thorough investigation rather than producing results quickly on behalf of developers. I will certainly be focussing more on the discussion of radon in the reports I review.” Joanne, Graduate Environmental Health Officer, Kirklees Council
“Great knowledge from presenters. Thoroughly enjoyed.” Tyler, Engineer, Groundsafe LTD
“One of the most interesting training courses I have attended.” Jane, Geo-Environmental Consultant, Hydrock
“The A-Z of Ground Gas provides a great insight into all aspects of contaminated land. The material was easily digestible and interesting whether we were learning about different solutions and technologies to deal with contaminated land or how landfill sites are redeveloped into residential or commercial spaces. I found the course extremely educational and thoroughly enjoyed the two days.” Richard, Landfill Technician, Birmingham City Council
