Good trainers, good experience and good skills

The delivery of both the theory and practical components felt rushed, with key topics skimmed over rather than properly taught. A significant amount of work is then expected to be completed independently after the one week of on-site training, which clearly shows that too much content is being crammed into too little time. There is not enough structured time allocated within the course itself to reasonably complete the required components before seeking accreditation.

On top of this, once assessments are submitted it can take several days to receive feedback and confirmation of competency, which further delays the process.

Based on my experience with the current delivery model, I would not recommend this course.

Possibly the finest training organisation in Adelaide - friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff make you feel like they want you there. Any monkey can put up solar, but if you would like to know how to do it right, give these guys a call.

I undertook two courses at Solar Training Centre:
1. Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems and
2. Working safely in the solar industry
The entire team lead by Steve did an amazing job. The course was well organized. The teaching material on LMS was very adequate and the method of training was very comfortable for the participants from diverse working backgrounds.
I have already enrolled for my third course with them for the Battery Storage for Grid Connected Systems Course.
And the barbeque, Steve does, on the last day, is the proverbial icing on the cake.
