Overview
This course is designed for electricians to gain the required skills to design and install stand-alone power systems (off-grid PV).
Course structure
This course is delivered by a combination of online self-paced study and practical workshop sessions on campus.
Online study
This covers all the theoretical knowledge and assessment required for design and installation of SAPS. You will be provided with a course book, given access to our online learning area, and receive support from the course instructor. The online study requirements must be completed prior to attending the practical workshop sessions.
Practical workshops
The workshops are delivered over six full days and include a review of the online coursework you have completed, to give you a thorough understanding of design and theoretical knowledge. The workshop covers all practical requirements and assessments for the course, including installation of off-grid PV systems. Attendance at the practical workshops is compulsory for the course.
