All courses start on the first Monday of the month specified, unless that day is a holiday in Canada, in which case the start is the next day.

To register for any of these courses, you need to first have undergone the course entrance application process. If that is the case, click one of the Register links above.

Course Duration: 5 weeks for initial module (50 hours, 2 credits) including one week for RS101 + 11 weeks for 2 projects (40 hours, 1 credit per project)

Technology Certificates of Proficiency requires completion of two projects (minimum one individual project, plus a group project whenever possible)

Programs

Code Description Start Duration
RS100-GH Green Heat Project Analysis Certification Program (4 Technologies)
Requires completion of modules on 4 out of 5 technologies:
- Solar Air Heating
- Solar Water Heating
- Passive Solar Heating
- Ground Source Heat Pumps
- Biomass Heating
You can start with any course of the program
(in any order - see schedule above).

Request more information.
Minimum of 4 months or 218 hours to cover 4 out of 5 technologies in program + requires completion of 4 projects, including 2 individual and 2 group projects (when possible).

Note: The program duration is less compared to taking each course separately. This is due to the fact that participants enrolled in this program will only need to take components once (for example the common introduction to project feasibility) and will only be required to do 4 projects instead of 8.

RS100-GP Green Power Project Analysis Certification Program (4 Technologies)
Requires completion of modules on 4 technologies:
- Solar Photovoltaics
- Wind Energy
- Small Hydro
- Co-generation
You can start with any course of the program
(in any order - see schedule above).

Request more information.
Minimum of 4 months or 218 hours to cover 4 technologies in program + requires completion of 4 projects, including 2 individual and 2 group projects (when possible).

We are in the process of establishing partnerships with various manufacturers, trade & professional organizations, non-profit community groups, colleges and universities, municipal, provincial and federal governments, and international training certification bodies dealing with renewable energies. We have a partnership with the Association of Energy Engineers, and negotiations are under way with universities in North America, Europe and Asia. We regularly develop new courses.
