Brief Description of the Course
This course is designed for individuals who have a working knowledge of general electrical concepts and photovoltaics. This intensive two-day class is structured to prepare participants to take the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge exam. This certificate of knowledge allows individuals to meet of the technical requirements of the Oregon Department of Energy’s Tax Credit Certified Technician (TCCT) program. The NABCEP Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge will be granted to those who successfully participate in the course and pass the two-hour, 60-question exam that will be administered at the end of the course. For those seeking TCCT status this course will include the additional state-sponsored training.
Prerequisites: This is not a course to train participants as PV installers; students should know basic electrical concepts and terminology, be able to use a digital multi-meter, calculate simple circuit calculations and describe general safety procedures when working with electrical systems. Participants will be provided with NABCEP Entry Level Learning Objectives upon registering for the course. In addition, a short assignment will be provided before class to familiarize the participants with fundamental concepts and terminology. This material will be drawn from and referenced to the text book listed below.
Materials: Photovoltaic Systems Text (to be purchased prior to attending class) from ATP Publishers http://www.go2atp.com/Photovoltaic_Systems_P374.cfm. Additional course materials are provided by instructor to reinforce learning objectives.
