  • Great course. CAT is such a demanding, stimulating and rewarding place. I have learnt new skills, made good friends and gained much confidence about materials I had no idea about despite my years of experience. A big thank you for you.

Course review:

Have you ever considered installing your own renewable energy system or assessing a site for its potential?

Interested in learning more about the technologies involved?

Renewable Energy Systems looks at the breadth of technologies available to harness energy from wind, water, solar and biomass, as well as the use of heat pumps. The course delivers an experienced understanding of Renewable Energy Systems through practical and theoretical sessions, with tours of CAT’s on-site renewable systems. Practical sessions accompany classroom based learning to make this overview of Renewable Energy Systems dynamic and diverse.
