esv.vic.gov.au Advertorial by NECA Education Electricians: do you have these in-demand skills? Demand for solar installations only continues to increase, and battery storage systems alongside them are growing in popularity. For A Grade electricians, now is the ideal time to upskill with the Course in New Energy Technology Systems (NETS). As the electrical industry RTO and a training organisation at the forefront of renewable technology, NECA Education & Careers have been selected as a provider for the NETS course. Videos will be incorporated before, during and after the course, in addition to practical tasks and scenario-based learning. “This is a new course with very innovative training delivery. The demand for renewables continues to accelerate and is likely to be supercharged by the Victorian Government’s Solar Homes rebate program,” said Phil Green, NECA Education & Careers CEO. NECA Education & Careers is already well-established in renewables training, with highly popular Battery Storage and Grid Connect short courses often booking out well in advance. Grid Connect is a pre-requisite for the NETS course. Allen Burrows has been teaching renewable technology at NECA Education & Careers since the beginning and has had positive experiences with the students. “They enjoy the idea of doing something positive for the planet,” he said. The first stream commences from April, for further details visit: necaeducation.com.au/nets The complete course consists of four units. NECA Education & Careers are taking enrolments for the first two units which will be delivered in our purpose-built solar classroom over three days in mid-April. The remaining two units will follow in early July after final material development. Completing the course will put you on track to becoming a qualified battery designer and installer. “The key is quality training as well as accreditation to get into this ever-expanding market,” Phil said. 13
