Diploma in GHG Accounting, Verification and Validation
The Diploma in GHG Accounting, Verification and Validation develops the technical skills and professional judgement needed to measure emissions, evaluate historical information and assess projected reductions. It covers organisational boundaries, Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventories, emission factors, data quality, product footprints, carbon markets, targets and claims. Participants learn verification planning, evidence testing, independence and reporting, alongside validation of project baselines and assumptions. Worked examples, an interactive assurance simulation and a capstone project combine inventory preparation with separate mock verification and validation assignments. The programme suits sustainability professionals, accountants, auditors, consultants, aspiring verifiers and validators, and those working in finance, procurement, risk and carbon-project development.
