Certification Route

Route for Candidates with No Experience

This route is ideal for learners who are new to the Energy Management & Sustainability and do not have prior work experience. The process is as follows:

• Admission: Learners enrol in the programme at an ICTQual AB Approved Training Centre.Entry requirements, including minimum age, educational background, and language proficiency, must be met.
• Training: Learners complete structured training covering all core and specialised units.Training combines theoretical instruction, practical exercises, laboratory work, and project-based learning.
• Assessment: Learners complete assignments, practical tasks, and projects aligned with the programme’s learning outcomes.Assessments evaluate both technical knowledge and applied sustainability and energy management skills.
• Certification: Upon successful completion of all training and assessments, learners are awarded the ICTQual AB Level 6 International Diploma in Energy Management & Sustainability.

Route for Experienced and Competent Candidates

For candidates who already have relevant work experience in the Energy Management & Sustainability, the following route is available:

• Eligibility: Learners must provide evidence of 6 years of verified work experience in roles relevant to energy management and sustainability practices.
• Assessment of Competence: Experienced learners may bypass full training and undergo a competency assessment to verify existing knowledge and skills.
• Evidence Submission: Learners submit documentation demonstrating prior experience, including job roles, projects, responsibilities, and achievements that align with course learning outcomes.
• Knowledge and Understanding: Centres ensure learners are familiar with all learning outcomes, and a skills gap assessment may identify any additional learning requirements.
• Certification: Upon verification of competence and experience, learners are awarded the ICTQual AB Level 6 International Diploma in Energy Management & Sustainability without completing the full programme.

This dual-route approach ensures that learners either gain comprehensive knowledge through structured training or demonstrate existing competency, making the qualification flexible, accessible, and aligned with international energy and sustainability industry standards.
