How good is it?
The self-paced online format offers flexibility, allowing the learner to work through the material at their own pace from the comfort of their home, whilst still benefitting from guidance and support from an expert trainer, personally assigned to them to support them throughout their learning journey.
The course was very beneficial, especially the Finance, procurement and risk assessment module.

The physics and chemistry based modules (such as fuels combustion, heat transfer etc.) were helpful as they were things I did not look at since school/university. It is good some modules are compulsory where basic principles that relate to a wide range of areas are taught. I would recommend this course to others as I think it would be useful for people similar to me, who have come into energy management from a specifically technical background by training or experience.

Excellent course, would highly recommend, all 15 modules were beneficial. I did this after completing the EI's Level 1 'Certificate in Energy Management Essentials' training qualification.

Very beneficial course, especially the 'Finance, procurement and risk assessment', 'Fuels and combustion' and 'Carbon management plans' modules. These have really helped me in my current role. I hope to complete Level 3 in the future and also planning on becoming an ESOS Lead Assessor. My tutor Richard Bujko was really helpful and knowledgeable, and I appreciated him always being available, or responding very quickly to any of my queries. He was a pleasure to work with. I found the course really helpful in order to progress in my current role and feel I have developed professionally.
