    Why take this BPEC Solar PV course?

    If you intend to work in the solar pv industry this course is a must. It will count towards MCS accreditation in Solar PV technology. This BPEC course has different entry requirements to the City & Guilds 2399 qualification making it a viable option for domestic installers as well as fully qualified electricians.

    We are the first and only electrical training company to carry out the working at height training at height on our specially designed buildings incorporating real roofs. As part of this course you will be using ginn wheels, pulleys and working on real scaffolding. As you will be training at height, it is essential you do already have a health and safety qualification before attending this 4 day course.

    You must have passed your 17th edition wiring regs and will be required to supply a copy of your certificate on the first day of the course.

    You will be Part P registered or already have the ability to work to the standard required to join a competent person’s scheme or can provide evidence of Inspection and Testing.

    Candidates who are not registered on a Part P scheme will be required to do so before they can later gain MCS accreditation. 

    If you do not already hold a health and safety qualification please check out our 5 day course.
