Practical-First Learning
Solar is a hands-on trade. Modules are accessible online, but practical sessions follow each module, ensuring you have the theoretical foundation before you touch the equipment.
Solar PV Technician Programme
Three structured levels mapped to EPRA technician classes.
From beginner foundation to commercial installer. Each level builds toward EPRA licensing and real installation capability. All courses include practical sessions after the modules are completed. New to EPRA tiers? Read the licensing guide first →
