No specific undergraduate training required. However, the training we provide does assume a certain level of technical and economics background. Learners should be comfortable with basic math, engineering concepts and chemistry. The course work is interdisciplinary.

The field is a rapidly growing field and one that already has a severe shortage of those with expertise. So there are definitely jobs to be had.

We would encourage you to sign up for Point Carbon, which is a good news source. And sign up for the Climate-L listserv, which puts out a job listing every week or two.

You can also join our membership program and view the Green Jobs listings once you log in to your member account.

Yes, you can say, as other students have said, that they have received a certificate of training from the GHG Management Institute. As far as certifying you as a GHG Professional along with a certification designation, we are not certifying individuals at this time because we are still in the process of developing the systems required for a certification system. We plan to offer professional level courses shortly. We will announce the requirements for certification as a GHG professional then.
