- 2 Copies of PowerPoint presentations, design tasks, GSES design & energy yield simulation tool, sample bill of materials, sample financial models, etc.
Training Methodology
The course will be delivered in lecture format using PowerPoint, sharing of case examples, design exercises, energy yield estimation exercise, a complete design task. The course will be delivered face to face at GSES training centre followed by Moodle e-Learning Platform.
At the end of each session, there will be an assessment quiz where the participant can apply the knowledge that they have learnt in the session and also interact with the trainer to discuss and clarify any queries they may have.
Certification
GSES develop and deliver solar PV training courses in accordance with international competency standards and accreditation requirements.
On successful completion of the course students receive a certificate of completion or certificate of participation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Design and Install Course split into three parts:
1. Online Theory – assessment questions completed as you read through the course material; this should be attempted before you attend the practical component.
2.Practical – three day practical at the Sydney Training Facility, doing installations, fault finding, commissioning, revising online theory, and an examination.
3. Examination – once all other assessments have been undertaken, an exam will be issued.
4. Design Task – final assignment to bring together all theory and practical knowledge.
Install Only Course split into two parts:
1. Online Theory – assessment questions completed as you read through the course material: this should be attempted before you attend the practical component. Note: the install online component is shorter than the Design and Install online component.
2. Practical – two or three day practical at the Sydney Training Facility, doing installations, fault finding, commissioning and revising online theory.
3. Examination – once all other assessments have been undertaken, an exam will be issued.

GSES understands that sometimes technology may create barriers for students, so we provide the option for receiving written assessments instead. You then post them back as you finish, and tutors will provide feedback via post.
You still receive the same resource book and there is no additional cost for this option.
