Energy and power networks
Generating, transmitting and distributing electricity calls for as much technical skill as documentary rigour. Decentralised solar opens a further, newer field, where local installation and maintenance matter more than the size of the works.
The field, in plain terms
Generating, transmitting and distributing electricity calls for as much technical skill as documentary rigour. Decentralised solar opens a further, newer field, where local installation and maintenance matter more than the size of the works.
- Operating and monitoring generation plants
- Maintaining transmission and distribution networks
- Installing and servicing solar and storage systems
- Consumption metering, readings and fault handling
- Electrical safety and intervention lock-out records

| Health, Industrial Safety and Environment | 2 years | 1 200 h | 5 400 000 GNF per year |
| Certificate in Industrial Site Safety Management | 6 months | 180 h | 3 800 000 GNF in total |
What you want to know
Is solar covered like everything else?
It is covered as an application of electrical engineering: sizing, installation, protection, storage, maintenance. The same foundation as a network, applied to a standalone installation.
What entry level is expected?
Comfort with basic physical quantities and arithmetic is enough to start. The technical vocabulary is acquired in the first block, which is designed for that.
Can I combine this with a job?
Yes. The pace is chosen at enrolment, and the real weekly workload is stated on every programme page before you commit.
