Online Solar Training Courses Launched (Infinite Solar Online)
Want to do some online solar learnin’? Infinite Solar Inc has just launched Infinite Solar Online, which is “Internet-based solar training programs that expand its traditional curricula to an online format,” the company writes.
“These programs provide students with practical knowledge and relevant skills that can be applied directly in the field.”
Looks like a good opportunity for probably a competitive price for anyone looking to break into the rapidly growing solar jobs market. Of course, as always, if you are considering taking these courses, make sure to look around and compare it to competing programs. (I’m not very aware of such programs, so can’t really guide you on this front. If any of you readers are, please drop some notes in the comments below.)
Here’s more info on what Infinite Solar Online is offering from a recent news release on it and its courses:
Infinite Solar Online training courses are developed using the latest technologies and incorporate rich graphics, interactive features, and custom videos. Designed to complement each other, the online solar courses can be followed by one of the hands-on workshops to put theory into practice.
In addition to online curriculum, students will receive support from professional industry instructors. Online course instructors will be available to answer all your questions and guide you through the material all along the way, with email, live chat, office hours, and video chats. A course glossary, extensive Internet resources and case studies are included in the online classroom.
