Hi guys

So I did one of the well known/advertised solar courses last month. The 5 day version.

Was it worth the money.. I'd say probably not.
Only 1 day of practical which was poorly organized. There was only 1 skimpy toolbox to be used among the 3 groups at the same time.

So you were always waiting for a spanner, socket, multimeter etc. Frustrating.

Lots of interesting info during class which I didn't know which was nice.
Lecturer was clued up and did his job well, taking questions etc.

What concerns me is why would a person who can barely use a screwdriver go on a solar course?
Surely you would first learn basic electrical before going on a course like this.

As it stands now anyone off the street can do it and say they've been trained in solar.

If they were serious, being a qualified electrician would be a bare minimum requirement to be able to enroll.

Anyway at least I did it, now I won't be wondering should I shouldn't I.
