Solar panel installation training

[mick525]

Can anyone tell me of any good solar panel installation training courses? I am a based in the North East but would be willing to travel if necessary. If you can give me an idea of length of the course, cost and what it entails and who I would need to contact. I already have 2391 and 17th Edition.

Thanks

Mick

I've not done it, but I suspect the best course is likely to be the 5 day course at Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales. Can be quite hard to get onto though, they need you to have specific quals, though I think 2391 is one they accept.

CAT have been running renewable energy courses since the 70s, and their instructors will have a lot of solar experience, vs most of the 3 day courses out there that are just run by the guy who runs the spark courses and has only done a couple of installs himself (may have improved a bit now).

Thanks for the info will look into it some more.
