The Master Certificate is for professionals who're serious about mastering the business of renewable energy. We've reached a tipping point; Renewable Energy is no longer an "alternative"; it's what customers want to buy. Customers now expect that you know a lot more than just the nuts and bolts of installation; they expect that you can also contrast the financial returns of various systems. So why restrict yourself to knowing just one segment of the renewable energy market? … when you could be closing business in Solar Thermal, Solar Electric (Photovoltaic), Wind Energy, Home Energy Retrofit (BPI/HERS), and Commercial Solar (Solyndra)!
Because you're serious about making renewable energy your business, you'll appreciate the care we've lavished on this integrated curriculum:
Be a triple threat! — You attend three of our five popular renewable energy boot camps:
Group Projects — Work together with peers on real-life design challenges as fresh as today's headlines.
Toolbox — Solar and wind resource survey instruments and software, yours to keep, at no additional charge.
3 months of leads — Building owners who want to install renewable energy on their properties.
Online courses too — You'll have a full year's access to our growing library of online courses.
Externship — Only students in our master certificate program can be offered externships with renewable energy companies.
Not starting a business just yet? — If you want to land a great job, we offer online access to key services, like career counseling and resume building. Placement assistance services are also available.
