Arab British Fellowship Training Academy offers a professional training course in Electrics for Renewables. This course is intended for those interested in renewable energy and wanting a comprehensive overview and knowledge of sustainable industry and energy efficiency. At the end of the course, you will be able to think about installation/specification of renewable technologies and discuss projects with renewable technology manufacturers/suppliers without fear of being "imposed" with potentially imperfect technologies. You will have confidence in what you can do. This accredited course provides participants with up-to-date knowledge of installing electrical systems for renewable energy, understanding on-grid and off-grid electrical connections, and complying with current safety regulations. The course prepares participants for local and international success in the renewable energy industry and is provided by a team of internationally experienced energy engineers.

Who should attend? 

• Those who have both a basic and advanced understanding of the industry.
• This course is designed for M&E Contractors, Owners, Birectors, Sole Proprietors, Managers, Factory and Building Managers.
