General training on the standards.

The limit, stated first

Delivered by Extreme Energy Solutions

Our programmes explain the standards, the regulatory requirements and what a verifier examines. They do not provide organization-specific solutions, and we do not build your inventory or calculation file inside them. That is another entity’s work, not ours.

Training is delivered by Extreme Energy Solutions, the group’s advisory and capacity-building entity. Completion is not an accreditation and confers no advantage in any engagement with Energy Up International.

GHG accounting path

Three coded GHG programmes, one competence path.

The GHG accounting discipline is delivered as three coded programmes, each running five days. GAC-01 and GAC-02 are published in the programme catalogue by code, title and duration; their detailed outlines are issued with the proposal. The full outline for GAC-03 is set out below.

GAC-02GHG accounting verifierFive days
GAC-03GHG accounting and reporting — awarenessFive days, three sessions of 1.5 hours

GAC-03 — GHG accounting and reporting

Awareness level. Five days, three sessions of 1.5 hours, venue as per request. Written for any company representative building working knowledge of GHG accounting, reporting, programmes, validation and verification. On completion a participant should be able to:

  • State why GHG accounting and reporting matters, and what drives it.
  • Work with the GHG reporting standards at corporate, project and product level.
  • Read GHG reporting schemes and green certifications.
  • Apply GHG quantification methodologies.
  • Follow the validation and verification processes end to end.
  • Use the materiality threshold and the level of uncertainty correctly.

Toward carbon neutrality

Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement, EU Fit-for-55, carbon offsetting, carbon credits and carbon markets.

Inventory and reporting standards

GHG sources and categories, ISO 14064-1:2018, ISO 14064-2:2019, ISO 14067:2018 and ISO 14068-1:2023, the ISO standards set against the GHG Protocol, categories 1 to 6, scopes 1, 2 and 3, types of engagement and life-cycle stage.

Quantification

ISO 14064-3:2019, sources, sinks and reservoirs, preparing the inventory, the reporting boundary, the baseline year, data collection methods, significant and insignificant emissions, the level of assurance, sources of uncertainty and material thresholds.

Carbon neutrality

ISO 14068-1:2023, carbon neutrality set against net zero, the carbon management plan, avoidance, reduction, removal and offsets, GHG baselines and baseline scenarios, and carbon crediting programmes.

Programmes and reporting

Green certifications, the EU Renewable Energy Directive, GHG programmes and schemes, EU ETS, EU CBAM, UK CBAM, IPCC, CertifHy, Verra, the Gold Standard, and the GHG report itself.

Validation and verification

What a validation and verification body is, the GHG verification process and the GHG validation process — taught from the standard, never from a live engagement.

All three programmes are delivered by Extreme Energy Solutions. Each closes with a certificate of completion, which is not an accreditation and not a professional qualification, and which confers no advantage in any validation or verification engagement. Whoever delivers a programme takes no part in the validation or verification of the organisation trained.

What you receive

Six things leave the room with you.

Training-needs assessment

What your roles already handle and where the gap actually sits, established before the programme is fixed rather than assumed from a catalogue.

Role-based learning plan

Written per role — data owner, reviewer, approver — because the person who collects a figure and the person who signs it need different things.

Applied workshops

Exercises run against the processes of your sector, not a generic case study. The context is yours; the data stays out.

Competence assessment

Assessment against stated criteria, so the record says what a person can do rather than that they were present.

Records and action plan

Attendance and assessment records, the competence gaps still open, and the actions that close them.

What the certificate says

Attendance, or successful assessment against the stated criteria — and nothing beyond that. No certificate implies a system has been certified or a claim verified.

How it runs

Delivery and the rules around it.

Public or in-house

Programmes run as public sessions or inside your facility. In-house delivery uses your sector context, not your data.

No advantage conferred

Attending a programme gives no advantage in any verification engagement and removes no requirement from you.

Trainer separation

Whoever delivers the training does not verify the same company. A person who has trained an organization takes no part in the validation or verification of that organization, for the separation period fixed in the management system. It is checked when the team is appointed — not after the work has started — and it treats the self-review and familiarity threats that ISO/IEC 17029:2019, 5.2 requires a validation and verification body to identify and eliminate or minimise.
