I completed the solar grid system course with Steve and Kraig — both were very knowledgeable and professional. The training was clear, hands-on, and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the experience and learned a lot. Highly recommend the Solar Training Centre to anyone wanting to upskill in the solar industry!

Takes 7 more days to wait for the result of my design work, after one week on site training. If you wish to get the certificate quickly, do not go!
Also you have to pay the full amount of training fees in advance to the institute and get your CSQ funding later. Never met this situation in other training center.

Great course!
Not something you can do online. Definitely worth doing face to face training for grid connected PV Systems.
Thanks Craig and Steve!

Great course guys. For a novice at solar I learnt an awful lot on this course. The theory and the practical was just the right mix to give us a feel for how it's done.
Would strongly recommend these guys if you are thinking of going into solar.

Could not fault this course, The trainer Josh had a sound knowledge of Off Grid systems his experience as a current installer showed in class, there was not a question he couldn’t answer.
In saying that it was how he interpreted his Knowledge to us which made the course so special.
Been an Installer myself I would recommend this course heavily.
The reason for that is, it was so hands on, you leave the class and you will understand all aspects of you Off Grid Install as they cover all wiring rules and wiring methods for installation.
This course even takes it one step further, the course gives you really good ideas in how to operate in the Off Grid Sector in regards to product selection and the importance of design.
If I reflect on my experience their, the most important thing I got from the course was the interaction with Josh and my fellow classmates who are all leaders in there industry, you will build friendships and bonds that will build you as a person but most importantly build your business.

Great course. Steve looks after you to make sure you get the best of the knowledge provided by the teacher. Joel knows what is talking about and share a lot of his experience so everything makes sense. He takes the time do make sure nobody is left behind.

This course outlines the requirements for meeting compliance with the installation of the Ergon Energy Network/ Energex – mandated generation signaling device (GSD) in accordance with QLD DNSP requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and Australian Standards.
