courses on PV solar installation

[chris_b_52]

Hello,
Has anyone completed a course in PV installation and can recomend it. I was going to do the C&G2372 course but this is being replaced by the c&g2399 Environmental studies course.

Anyone have any advice on what is happening to the courses or whether they are worth it?

Thanks

Blimey....

Do you feel that you need quite a bit of background knwledge in order to keep up and is it aimed at a level of practicing nvq qualified electricians.

Once again, thanks for the update and I will look forward to your next post. Good luck.

one of the requirements is to have 2391-10,Yes probably background knowledge would be good. Will keep you posted as the course goes on

Finished the course today, found it was a good insight to what will be going on in the real world of PV
I'm looking forward to getting a positive result from the theory test next week.
I done the course at able skills in Dartford could not recommend them highly enough,the tutor Jim has been installing PV for quite a while so knew what he was on about.
