ESGPro Mastery Institute
Carbon credit programme · 12 weeks · every weekend

Build a career in carbon credits, in 12 weeks.

The Carbon Credit Management Program (CCMP): from climate policy and project design to MRV, registries, finance and integrity.

India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme and the EU’s CBAM are turning carbon credits into regulated, priced assets. Learn how a credit is created, verified, priced and defended by building the work yourself, taught live by a practising CFA.

Not another GHG course

The GHG Bootcamp measures emissions. This programme works with the credits.

Both are valuable. They answer different jobs, so choose by the work you want to do.

GHG Accounting Bootcamp

₹19,999 · 4 weeks · Excel

Calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3, build an audit-ready inventory and a net-zero roadmap. Choose this if your job is a company’s emissions data.

See the GHG Bootcamp

Carbon Credit Management Program

₹54,999* · 12 weeks · live every weekend

Design a credit project, plan MRV, trace issuance, run due diligence, price and account for credits under CCTS, voluntary markets and CBAM. Choose this if your job is creating, buying, selling or assuring credits.

Enrol in CCMP

Most learners take the GHG Bootcamp first, then CCMP. The two do not overlap: CCMP uses only the baseline accounting a project needs.

The idea at the centre

A carbon credit is a chain of evidence, not a tonne of gas.

A registry issuance proves a project passed an administrative process. It does not prove a buyer should buy it, at any price, or make any claim with it. Credits hold up only if every link, from the physical activity to the retired serial number, can be reconstructed.

The programme trains you to build that chain as a project developer, test it as a buyer or verifier, and price the risk when a link is weak.

India CCTS

The compliance carbon market: how credits are issued, traded and surrendered.

Voluntary markets

Registries, methodologies and integrity questions behind project credits.

EU CBAM

Carbon cost on exports, and what it means for credits, pricing and compliance.

Twelve weeks, three phases

Each week pairs the concept with the thing you produce.

Eleven modules, built into one weekly sequence. Each phase ends in an assessment and a certificate; the CCMP designation is awarded on the capstone. Scroll to follow the cohort.

Frequently asked questions

Before you enrol.

How is this different from the GHG Accounting Bootcamp?

The GHG Bootcamp (₹19,999, 4 weeks) teaches you to calculate and defend a corporate emissions inventory. The Carbon Credit Management Program (12 weeks) teaches you to create, verify, assess, price and account for carbon credits. It revisits GHG accounting only as far as project baselines need, so you do not repeat the bootcamp.

What does CCMP stand for, and who issues the certification?

CCMP is the Carbon Credit Management Program. ESGPro issues a certificate after each of the three phases and the Carbon Credit Management Professional (CCMP) designation on completing the programme and the capstone. These are ESGPro credentials, not issued by any registry, regulator or standard-setting body.

What is the schedule, and what if I miss a session?

Live classes run every Saturday and Sunday, about 6 live hours a week, for 12 weeks. Every session is recorded and shared, so you can catch up on anything you miss. Plan on 10+ project works across the programme on top of class time.

When does the next cohort start, and what does the fee include?

The next cohort starts in the Second week of December 2026. The early-bird fee is ₹54,999 excluding GST* and includes live weekend classes, recordings, 12+ live case studies and simulations, project work with feedback, calculators and templates, an alumni community and your credentials.

Do I need a science or environmental background?

No. The programme builds from first principles, and finance, compliance, engineering and EHS professionals all follow it. You should be comfortable with spreadsheets and reading technical documents.

Does it cover BRSR, GRI and IFRS S1 and S2 reporting?

Not in depth. This programme is about carbon credits and carbon markets. For end-to-end ESG reporting with AI, including BRSR, GRI and IFRS S1 and S2, see Agentic AI for ESG Reporting.

What will I have built by the end?

A project design document, an MRV plan with an issuance trace, a carbon credit due-diligence memo, a CBAM exposure and compliance-cost model, a portfolio simulation and a capstone, among 10+ project works.

What is the refund policy?

Under the Cancellation and Refund Policy in our Terms of Use, you can request a full refund in writing to info@esgproinvest.com within 7 days of the first live session (Day 1), provided you attended all sessions held and completed all labs and assignments set up to the date of your request. After that window, fees are non-refundable.

Do you guarantee a job, or that credits can be sold?

No. Outcomes vary with the work you submit, your background and the market, and are not guaranteed. The programme guarantees that you will have produced the work yourself.
