I understand that Waxman Energy at Leeds run a free G59 course for installers who buy from them!

wouldnt bother pal we went on one 4 weeks back in york run by bepec total waste of time and money! all the tutor did was give everone a guide to the g59 (which is free to download of the net)show us a couple of sldes and basiclly said you need to be pally with the DNOs own engineers to get anywhere with your project.
my advise is keep your money you`ll wish you had when all this madness calms down.

how can it be a waste of money if it is FREE

there expensive m8, i assume you have to buy alot of kit from waxman to get on the free course

you just have to open an account

Not only that. How much is it worth to you to sit and watch telly? Or do some Xmas shopping?

Being on a course still costs you your time.

Just use g59 compliant inverters, job done!

It wasn't free it cost £265 per person.
Wish I'd have know about the waxman one now

In a period of where I have paid large sums to do the 'knowledge', I think where you can expand your knowledge and establishing a relationships with suppliers is better than saving a fiver if that is the case! At the very least if you don't need to buy anything up front - even better! Sure these guys are database marketing by doing this, but I think cost of your attention to build a relationship by these means is better for installer and supplier. Good old capitalism!

Simon Pattinson at Waxman used to work for EcoSkies - he's very clued up and theres a good chance that he runs the G59 course.
