I undertook two courses at Solar Training Centre:1. Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems and2. Working safely in the solar industryThe 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.

Thank you for sending the certificate. Thanks and best regards to you and your team. You guys have been very helpful during both solar and battery design courses and because of these courses, I have recently secured a job in renewable energy industry as a “Solar Design Engineer”, and when I mentioned these courses during the interviews, it increased my chances of getting the job substantially. Thanks and best regards to you and your team! - Abdul F
Can't recommend Caz and her team and Solar Training Centre enough! Great organisation, in-depth and hands-on experience learning! I did the course myself and put a couple of my A grades through them as well.

“Just wanted to take some time to personally thank everyone there especially Craig. The course was very informative and everyone was extremely accommodating with guiding me through certain parts of the course. I appreciate the extensions given as it is sometimes hard juggling a business as well. Great course and will be recommending to anyone interested.”
