This course is designed for electricians who wish to further their skills by gaining an accreditation to design and install stand-alone power systems (not grid-connected photovoltaic systems). The delivery mode of this course is designed for busy tradespeople who do not have the time to attend lengthy face-to-face courses to expand their knowledge and skills: the fully flexible web-based format of the online component allows students to complete the theory in their own time with ongoing tutor support.
The course is nominally 250 hours of training, including the online assessments, design task and practical components, but students may take more or less time to complete the course. Courses are valid for twelve (12) months. Extension fees apply from the date of expiry, and the maximum extension permitted is six (6) months from the date of expiry.
Practical component: A majority of the online assessments must be completed before booking the face-to-face practical components. The confirmed date for the practical component is only available once a student has completed the necessary online assessments, used the online link to select a date, and received a confirmation email from ETG. Practicals are held in ETG, and scheduled dates for the Fast Track course can be viewed here. Please contact the office directly on 02 9024 5312 for practical dates for the Full Course and GCPV Accredited variants. Note that dates are subject to minimum and maximum numbers, and places cannot be guaranteed until the necessary amount of online work is completed.
Successful completion will result in the award of a Statement of Attainment in the current version of the following Units of Competency:
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be eligible to apply to the Solar Accreditation Australia for the Installation of Stand-alone Power Systems accreditation.
