If there was one ‘bullet-proof’ career in the trades sector, now and for the foreseeable future, this is surely as a Renewable Energy specialist. The renewable sector is fast growing, with energy conservation and carbon saving an increasing concern for consumers looking to save money and the planet. Government funded schemes, such as the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Feed in Tariffs (FiTs) and the Green Deal, plus rising energy bills, mean more and more homeowners are moving away from traditional forms of energy supply.
And what is particularly appealing about these hugely relevant and important courses is that they are grounded in traditional skills such as plumbing and electrics, which in themselves can offer varied and lucrative opportunities for advancement.
Please note that all examinations and assessments are conducted by an accredited external organisation.
