Auditel UK, a leading provider of carbon, energy and procurement solutions, is proud to announce its official accreditation as an Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP) Certified Training Centre.
Marking a major milestone in the professionalisation of the carbon accounting industry, Auditel has also secured ISEP certification for its “Introduction to Carbon Accounting” course.
This training now meets the rigorous standards required for the ISEP Technical Associate Carbon Accountant certification. This announcement follows the successful completion of the inaugural course in December 2025. The graduates of this historic cohort have now become the first professionals globally to hold the title of ISEP Certified ‘Technical Associate’ Carbon Accountant.
Chris Aston, Auditel MD, commented, “Becoming an ISEP Certified Training Centre is a testament to the depth of knowledge and technical rigour embedded within Auditel. We are thrilled to see our first cohort from December 2025 achieve their Technical Associate status. As we await the launch of the ISEP register, these professionals stand ready to lead the way in helping organisations measure, manage and reduce their carbon footprints with verified accuracy.”
World’s first ISEP ‘Technical Associate’ Carbon Accountants
One of the first recipients of this accreditation was Liam Bailey, who has just joined Auditel as a new ‘Full Partner Business’. He was delighted with both the course itself and achieving his accreditation, exclaiming “The course was just excellent – intensive yet extremely well-paced, keeping me focused, engaged, and motivated throughout. Rob Allison was a superb trainer, and together with the wider Auditel Head Office team, the level of support I’ve received so far has been fantastic. I’m delighted to be certified as one of the World’s first ISEP ‘Technical Associate’ Carbon Accountants!”
His comments were echoed by Jonathan Curren, who also joined in December 2025, initially as an ‘Associate Partner Business’. Reflecting on his induction and start-up, he says. “Having just joined Auditel, the Sales and Marketing training was excellent. Fiona, Antony and Julie provided a solid 
introduction to the business processes and what I need to do to build and grow my business, with head office and network support.
The Carbon training was first class, and with so much depth and detail, it was great to be able to do this over a 5-day residential course, as part of a group with whom to collaborate and share insights. It was extremely useful to go through the various stages of technical delivery, and with great use of real-life scenarios. With the course being ISEP accredited, to have just become one of the first in the world to hold this certification is absolutely fantastic.”
Pioneering Standards in Carbon Accounting
As the global demand for transparent and accurate carbon reporting intensifies, the need for qualified professionals has never been higher. This accreditation positions Auditel at the forefront of the industry, delivering training to its consulting teams that aligns directly with the upcoming launch of the ISEP Register for Carbon Accounting Professionals.
The ISEP register aims to provide a verified directory of competent professionals, ensuring businesses can engage with carbon accountants who possess validated technical skills.
Auditel Franchise Partners now attend a five-day residential ‘Introduction to Carbon Accounting’ course providing a comprehensive foundation in carbon auditing standards, scope classification and data verification. An exam assessment follows which, upon passing, results in the achievement of the ‘Technical Associate’ status. There are then two further optional progression training courses, which require advanced competencies to achieve the ‘Practitioner’ and subsequently ‘Principal’ level awards.
Edward Brown, Senior Training and Development Manager, at ISEP, added, “The certification of Auditel’s course and the graduation of the first Technical Associate Carbon Accountants marks a significant step forward for the industry. It ensures that the professionals populating our new register have undergone training of the highest standard.”
Three income streams. One powerful consultancy model
Not only is this great news for Auditel clients and existing Franchise Partners, but for people considering joining Auditel this is yet another significant advantage of the Auditel opportunity. Already benefiting from the ‘TriStream Growth Model’, Auditel’s powerful combination of expertise and solutions across Carbon, Energy and Procurement, the achievement of becoming an ISEP Training Centre has immediately opened up the opportunity for Auditel Partners, once personally accredited, to offer ISEP-aligned training options to clients.
Initial options include ‘An Introduction to Net Zero’ (2 hours) and ‘Pathway to Net Zero’ (2 days). Delivered under the ISEP framework, these programmes enable client certification and introduce an additional, highly credible income stream within the Auditel business model.
