DGS SOLARSCHOOLS THURINGIA
YOUR PARTNER FOR PROFESSIONAL FURTHER EDUCATION IN THE AREA OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The SolarSchool courses have been developed and offered in Germany since 1996. Today the successful training concept is also being transferred to other countries. In 2004 one SolarSchool was opened in Taiwan, in 2007 in Macedonia and in 2009 one school per country in Ethiopia, Laos and Cambodia. There are now plans to open SolarSchools in Latin America.
In 2008 the DGS SolarSchool Thuringia began offering courses. Aside from the Solar (Expert) Consultant courses we offer courses on the subjects of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. Our lecturers have many years of experience in the field in Germany and in developing countries.
Each participant receives a certificate of participation at the end of the course. In addition, the participants may choose to take an exam for qualification as a DGS solar consultant or solar expert consultant (accredited certifications), depending on previous experience and exam results.
