The six modules of F2B are: Offshore Wind Overview, Offshore Wind Siting & Permitting, Construction & Installation, Operations & Maintenance, and How to Get Involved. Graduates of the course will have an understanding of the different phases of project development, operational knowledge, and a vocabulary of the various component parts.

The course content and lectures are discounted to $150 for Maryland businesses – a savings of $2,350 – made possible by the generous support of the Maryland Energy Administration.
