Microgeneration Training

Narec provides a comprehensive programme of practical training courses to address the skills gap for technicians to install, operate and maintain renewable energy systems. Our courses are designed for experienced heating engineers, plumbers and electricians to build on their existing expertise and further support the growth of the micro renewables industry.

Certification

Courses have been developed to meet the requirements of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), an independent scheme that certifies microgeneration products and installers in accordance with consistent standards and are accredited by EAL, and mapped to national occupational standards, providing companies with high quality recognised qualifications. Addressing the skills gap is a key requirement of implementing energy master plans and regeneration activities.

Narec is working with local authorities to ensure that they have the trained personnel to implement sustainable energy action plans and citywide climate change initiatives to deliver regeneration across their respective areas.

 

Narec Training Centre

The Narec Training Centre is fitted with a range of renewable technologies and systems, allowing students to gain practical experience in a simulated environment of working with various low carbon and renewable energy technologies, including:

Bespoke training packages can be designed and delivered to meet individual and organisational training needs.

Course Delivery

Narec’s practical and industry led training courses support the skills and knowledge requirements for the low carbon and renewable energy sector:

Wind Turbine Training Tower

Narec’s 27m high wind turbine training tower which forms part of Narec’s training facility, is an open access facility designed to allow education and training providers to deliver health and safety working at height training for technicians working in the wind industry, both onshore and offshore.
