The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development employs modern methods in training and skills development, enhancing the efficiency of human resource development. We follow these practices:

• Theoretical Lectures: 
  • We deliver knowledge through advanced presentations such as PowerPoint and visual materials, including videos and short films.
• Scientific Assessment:
  • We evaluate trainees skills before and after the course to ensure their progress.
• Brainstorming and Interaction: 
  • We encourage active participation through brainstorming sessions and applying concepts through role play.
• Practical Cases:
  • We provide practical cases that align with the scientific content and the participants specific needs.
• Examinations: 
  • Tests are conducted at the end of the program to assess knowledge retention.
• Educational Materials:
  • We provide both printed and digital scientific and practical materials to participants.
• Attendance and Final Result Reports:
  • We prepare detailed attendance reports for participants and offer a comprehensive program evaluation.
• Professionals and Experts: 
  • The programs scientific content is prepared by the best professors and trainers in various fields.
• Professional Completion Certificate: 
  • Participants receive a professional completion certificate issued by the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development in the Kingdom of Sweden, with the option for international authentication.
• Program Timings:
  • Training programs are held from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and include coffee break sessions during lectures.

Training course Overview:

Renewable energy in general and solar energy in particular have a wide global interest in the attractive characteristics of its use and its integration into modern electrical networks. This course aims to make the participant aware of the solar energy systems and their components, and is able to properly plan and manage the solar energy projects. The participant will be aware of the advantages of using renewable energy to feed off-grid loads. 

Training course Outcomes:

• Understanding solar energy systems
• Understand the difference between grid-on and grid-off solar systems.
• Knowledge of the effect of using large scale solar systems
• The incentives provided by countries to support solar energy and how to benefit from it
• Review the factors influencing the success of the project financially
• Identify the skills needed to manage solar projects

Who should attend:

• Electrical Engineers
• Directors of energy companies
• Financial Managers of Energy Projects
• The academics
• R & D staff
