CMA is structured into four tiers: Domains (broad sectors like Energy, Water, and Food), Fields (subcategories such as Solar Energy), Tracks (specific training courses like Solar Technician), and Advanced Tracks (specialized courses for deeper expertise). This hierarchy ensures modular and scalable training pathways that can be tailored to individual and industry needs.

CMA is designed to bridge the gap in green skills training by providing a standardized methodology that complements existing national frameworks. Programs address the international scale of climate challenges by offering universally understandable qualifications that allow companies to easily assess the competencies of potential employees in key green sectors like energy, water, and food. This ensures that professionals are trained according to a consistent, globally relevant standard, helping industries and governments address the growing climate crisis.

CMA focuses on equipping professionals with practical, sector-specific competencies in renewable energy technologies, sustainable agricultural practices, and water management systems. These skills are critical for industries working to tackle climate change and support the global transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

Solar training programs such as the Solar Technician - Light Commercial and Residential are co-developed with globally recognised training bodies like InnoEnergy's Skills Institute as part of the new European Solar Academy. This ensures assessments are carried out in conformity with global standards where available, enhancing credibility and ensuring graduates meet both CMA and specialized industry standards, increasing their employability. Where no international standard exists, greentech.training works with partners from industry, training, mobility and integration to co-create them into the CMA framework.

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) ensures CMA certifications are securely stored and globally accessible, offering decentralized, tamper-proof verification for graduates and employers. This system enhances trust and transparency, making it easy to validate credentials anywhere in the world. The same system will be opened to partnering academic entities in 2025.
