How Do I Become A Carbon Credits Broker? What Are The Requirements?

To become a carbon credits broker you will have to have a sound knowledge of the industry. Firstly a carbon credits broker is someone who deals with the carbon emissions trade that several governments have initiated in order to help improve the environmental situation. There are a lot of successful carbon credit brokers all over the world who have either helped set up a project or who work within large organisations and the market now stands at around €30 billion.

A lot of organisations only require the sales experience and also a passion and an interest in the carbon credit model.

Experience in other brokering fields is a big advantage e.g. Land brokering, stock broker and media sales. This arena is not as difficult as you may think to get into and as long as you convey the right personality and sales skills you stand a good chance of becoming a carbon credits broker. National and international job boards, recruitment agents and online searches are the best way to find out more about the requirements.
