Renewable Energy Training
Rezeko, the Victorian distributor for Beyond Building Energy, has formed an alliance with Swinburne University’s Grid Connect Short Course for Electricians with the aim of supporting new installers entering the industry. As the 1KW grid connected system proposed by Beyond Building Energy is over 120 volts, it must be installed and supervised by qualified and accredited electricians.
Swinburne’s short course provides the training required for qualified electricians to apply for Accreditation with the Clean Energy Council as a designer and/or installer of Grid-connect Renewable energy systems. Please refer to the BCSE Accreditation requirements http://www.bcse.org.au/default.asp?id=174 for further details. This is a sixty hour course and consists of five day classes ( 40 hours ) plus five night classes ( 20 hours). The next course may begin in early July in Hawthorne. For course information please contact Robert Cook on 9214 5264 or by email: rocook@swin.edu.au
