Course characteristics

To develop in the participants the pedagogical, technical and regulatory competencies necessary for the training of human talent in the assembly, design, maintenance and management of renewable energy systems in solar photovoltaic systems (SSF), ensuring compliance with technical, regulatory and energy sustainability standards.

What will participants learn?

Participants will learn to design and deliver training programs in FSS assembly, design, maintenance and management, applying active and innovative didactic techniques. After this course, participants will be able to implement technical and regulatory standards in the teaching and application of renewable energy systems and apply energy efficiency and sustainability principles in the design and maintenance of FSS. In addition, participants will learn how to evaluate and optimize FSS energy management systems according to the type of industrial activity. They can guide and advise trainees and technicians in the correct application of safety and quality procedures and standards.

Who is it intended for?

The course is aimed at experts selected by Fenaltec, Contec and Brands Holding, with at least two years of experience in solar photovoltaic systems (SSFV) and skills in communicating with technical teams, especially if they have teaching experience. Participants must have a technical-occupational, technical-professional, technologist or higher education qualification in electrical, electronic, mechanical, industrial or related engineering, or in areas related to energy transfer and renewable energies. Proven experience of at least three years in the implementation of technical training programs in electricity and/or SSFV, with leadership, enthusiasm and commitment to the energy transition is required. Technological knowledge in solar systems for productive use and basic or intermediate management of office tools and educational platforms is also expected. As desirable requirements, pedagogical experience in job training, initiative for mentoring, vocation to train creative and critical thinking, the use of active methodologies to encourage participation in face-to-face and virtual classes, the ability to evaluate and provide constructive feedback, and the ability to identify training needs and opportunities are valued.

Skills that participants can acquire:

At the end of the course, participants will acquire a comprehensive combination of technical, pedagogical and socioemotional skills related to solar photovoltaic systems. They will be able to design, assemble, maintain and manage renewable energy networks applying current regulations and energy efficiency criteria, as well as to evaluate and optimize their performance. In addition, they will be able to design training plans aligned with educational standards, implement innovative methodologies for technical education and ensure the quality of training processes. They will also develop competencies in critical thinking, problem solving, leadership and innovation in educational and energy contexts.
