About this course
The Combined Heat and Power (CHP) course is aimed at engineers, architects, professionals, managers and directors who intend to invest in this technology or who wish to find out how CHP works and to evaluate the benefits of adopting CHP technology.
There are no pre-requisites for enrolment as the course is taught at an entry level and builds up to more advanced topics on the subject area of each module. A reasonable standard of education is expected alongside a keen interest in renewable and sustainable energy, but otherwise we have no formal requirements for enrolment.
