The UK is facing an energy management skills shortage — and for forward-thinking employers, this presents a powerful opportunity. As energy prices continue to soar and sustainability regulations tighten, businesses that invest in skilled in-house Energy Managers will be better equipped to cut costs, reduce carbon, and stay compliant.

The Level 3 Energy Manager Qualification is designed to address this growing demand. It develops professionals who can take control of energy consumption, drive operational efficiencies, and play a strategic role in supporting your organisation’s net zero and sustainability commitments.

Many UK companies still outsource this vital function or lack energy managers altogether, leaving them exposed to rising energy costs and missed savings opportunities. This apprenticeship helps you build internal capability — reducing reliance on external consultants and unlocking long-term savings.

"I’m very grateful to have completed your JEM Apprenticeship. It gave me the chance to learn and grow in a supportive environment. The combination of classroom learning and real-world projects allowed me to apply what I learned immediately. The Heat loss lesson was my favourite, and I used most of these calculations in my energy project for end point, which saved my department £4000/month after we replaced the equipment."

What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a training program that combines on-the-job learning with classroom instruction. It allows individuals to acquire practical skills and knowledge in a specific trade or profession while working under the guidance of experienced professionals.

What is the time commitment for training?

We ask learners to attend 1x 2hr lecture per month, these are set in advance and will always be during working hours (09:00 – 17:00). In addition to this, learners are required to evidence 5hrs of their work activities per week, which relate to their course standards. This is logged in their portfolio as ‘OTJ Hours’ and will be assessed by their tutors. For example, if a learner is enrolled on the Digital Marketing qualification, and they spend 3hrs a week managing a social media campaign through your companies Instagram account, this would make up 3 of the 5 OTJ hours they are required to log each week.

What are the fees?

 For non-levy paying businesses, the government pay for 95% of the course fees, and the employer makes a 5% co-payment. For Levy paying businesses, the allocation comes straight out of the companies levy account.

If the If the learner withdraws within 30 days of starting the course, the employer will be charged an administration fee of £500. If they withdraw 31-90 days after starting the employer will be charged an administration fee of £1000. If the learner withdraws from programme 90+ days after starting, there are no fees to pay.

How long do the courses take?

Between 12 and 33 months depending on the qualification level.
