Electrical & Energy Technician
You've finished secondary school, you're comfortable with basic maths, and you want to work in electrical installation, energy efficiency, solar, or building and facility systems. No prior engineering study required.
What you'll be able to do
- Read and interpret electrical schematics
- Calculate loads and size cables correctly
- Understand power distribution, protection and earthing
- Assess a building or facility for energy efficiency
- Apply safety standards to electrical work
How it's built
Coursework comes from Schneider Electric University, which offers more than 300 free, vendor-neutral e-learning courses in energy, power and industrial systems. Modules are self-paced and each takes under an hour. We add the sequence, the live teaching, the practical work and the assessment.
