As part of a key strategy to develop the skills of UK electricians in the installation of sustainable energy, Total Electrical Training has gained approval to run the City & Guilds 2372-0001/002 in Solar Photovoltaic.For many electrical contractors and domestic electricains, opting for a nationally recognised qualification is not only important, it is a seen as a must have by many certification bodies.

Total Electrical Training succesfully applied for City and Guilds 2372 scheme approval, and has taken the view that as City and Guilds has widespread recognition, that anyone holding the qualification, is clearly demonstrating that they have been on a training course, which will in turn strike a chord with private or commercial clients seeking tenders for the installation of solar power.

For us at Total Electrical Training, We are really excited about offering this 5-day course, which is part of our commitment to be at the heart of renewable technology, and at the same time, making a contribution to reductions in carbon emmessions. Total Electrical Training really believes that by offering this course, We will be able to give electricians the best possible chance of securing their share of this rapidly growing sector – and as we ahve said, it gives us all an opportunity to contribute, and benefit, from doing something positive to help the envirnoment – a win-win situation all round!

So whats the course all about?

The course has been developed to specifically address the underpinning knowledge and specialist skills required for domestic PV installations. It encompasses information on the types of panels available, how to ensure maximum benefit from an installation – in terms of both energy and financial reward; Building Regulations, MCS certification and inspection and testing.

What about the future?

In addition, TET plans to develop and evolve its sustainable energy training programmes to include certification in domestic and commercial installations in other types of renewable energy sources. We say,Solar PV systems are seen as an essential part of the Coalition Government’s green energy policy. The recently introduced Feed-In Tariff is now a real incentive for consumers, and electricians need to be ready with the knowledge, skills and qualifications to embrace this technology’.
