Certified GHG Professional Training Course

The Certified GHG Professional Training Course provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach to GHG accounting and reporting using the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard. Participants will gain practical skills to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across their operations and value chain. Developed and delivered by GHG experts, the course integrates learning through real-life case studies and practical examples.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course, participants will:

• Apply GHG emissions accounting principles and set organisational, operational, and base year boundaries in accordance with the GHG Protocol.
• Collect and organise activity data required for GHG emissions calculations across Scope 1, 2, and 3.
• Independently calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using appropriate methodologies and emission factors.
• Identify material Scope 3 categories and apply suitable calculation approaches for each.
• Prepare GHG emissions reports that align with GHG Protocol best practices and disclosure requirements.
• Evaluate and apply GHG target-setting approaches to support organisational decarbonisation goals.
