S.
2- The Certificate (IV) in Renewable Energy covers the
II principles of operation of renewable energy systems. Areas
g covered in this course include:
S'
indirect solar for heating of buildings and heat storage,
radiant solar energy used for solar hot water, solar
space heating and photovoltaic electricity,
solar atmospheric used for mechanical and electrical
energy derived from wind,
micro-hydro systems to generate electricity,
solar biological energy, the use and re-use of plant and
animal materials to generate energy.
Career potential
Graduates from this course will be employed as consultants
that will be capable of designing, installing, commissioning,
maintaining,operating and repairing renewable energy
systems. Graduates will also have the skills necessary to
operate in small business management.
Coune duration
The course may be completed by one year of full-time
study of approximately two years part-time, or a
combination of both. Modules are subject to availability
and demand. Day and evening classes are available.
Entry requirements
Basic mathematical and literacy skills are desirable to
enable successful completion of the course. Many of the
students of this course will already be employed or may be
studying or have graduated in mechanical or electrical/
electronic engineering. Mature-age applicants will be
considered favorably. Applicants with computing and
literary qualifications may gain exemptions for some
modules.
