Renewable Energy Courses

At PPL we not only specialise in electrical, oil, gas and plumbing training courses but also in the latest renewable energy training courses. As an approved centre with Bpec and LOGIC Certification we only offer nationally recognised renewable energy qualifications. As the qualifications are nationally recognised the approved installer will be eligible to join the appropriate approved grants scheme. Although specific manufacturers courses maybe beneficial, they may not entitle the person to join a grant scheme. This is because manufacturer courses tend to be aimed at a single product and are not generic enough.

We are active and proud members of the Solar Trade Association and Renewable Energy Association. The demand for your new renewable energy skills is expected be high in the future. According to UK Government reports, the UK needs 7 million new solar hot water installations by 2020. There are currently about 120,000 solar hot water installations in the UK at present.

Our green energy and environmental technologies training facilities have a wide range of purpose built demonstration apparatus. We currently offer Bpec Solar Hot Water (installer) , Bpec Solar Hot Water (non-installer), Bpec Rainwater Harvesting, Bpec Ground Source Heat PumpsBpec Underfloor heating training, Bpec Renewable Energy Awareness courses and  PPL Domestic loft insulation (installers) course, with Bpec Air Source Heat Pumps, Bpec Biomass, NICEIC Solar PV coming early in 2009.
