About this course
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.
