Course Overview

The Diploma in Energy Management is an UK Level 4 vocational qualification at the London School of Oil and Gas Management, delivered across on-campus, online and distance learning routes over 6 to 12 months. The programme develops practitioner-foundation capability in energy management, with syllabus content aligned to Energy Institute (EI) and Chartered Management Institute (CMI) frameworks and grounded in industrial energy management, buildings and process facilities.

By the point of award, you will be contributing to live technical or commercial work under a chartered supervisor and articulating cleanly into an Advanced or Higher Diploma. Every module builds toward evidenced competence in energy management systems, ISO 50001 and demand-side measures, with practice-based assessment rather than examination-heavy coursework.
