In extreme cases, these eruptions pose a safety risk to human health.  Businesses and organisations possibly impacted by space weather want to learn about this natural hazard to increase their resilience. But it is not always straightforward to read, understand and interpret space weather bulletins and data. Some users are only in the initial phase of space weather awareness and understanding or didn’t find their way to an easy accessible space weather service yet.  The Space Weather Education Centre, SWEC, offers basic and tailored courses for stakeholders that run space weather impacted operations.  The courses addresses the barriers that users encounter while dealing with the question what space weather is, where to find and how to interpret space weather parameters and indices. SWEC is an organisation of the STCE, Solar-Terrestrial Centre of Excellence. The STCE is the place for research, data & services and education about Sun-Space-Earth and their interactions. The institute can rely on a rich history and expertise in solar and terrestrial observations & measurements, both on ground and from space. The STCE incorporates a Space Weather Service Centre, issuing daily space weather bulletins and warnings in case of space storms.  SWEC builds on this firm academic and service experience and has qualified teachers and communicators.
