The course material has been designed to meet the requirements of dedicated electrical energy storage systems (EESS) in accordance with the IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems and the MCS Battery Standard MIS 3012.

The installation of these EESS is work that can be carried out by competent, qualified operatives holding appropriate pre-requisite qualifications and the aim of the training course is to ensure individuals have the knowledge and required skills to carry out this work.

Learners must be competent electricians and hold one of the qualifications listed below and BS 7671: 2018 Requirements for Electrical Installations (18th Edition) qualification:

Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment (Buildings, Structures and the Environment) (2357)Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Electrotechnical Services (Electrical Maintenance)(2357)Level 3 Electrotechnical Qualification (5357)Level 3 in Electrotechnical Services Experienced Worker (2356)Level 3 NVQ in Electrotechnical Services – Electrical Installation (Building and Structures)Level 3 Electrotechnical Experienced Worker Qualification.(2346)Level 3 Electrotechnical in DwellingsEAL Building Services Engineering (Level 3) – Electrotechnical InstallationEquivalent historical qualifications. See EAS Table 4B/4C, and the EAS Qualifications Guide ECS Gold Card (for domestic electrician), JIB Electrician (Not PAT tester only) or Approved Electrician CardOther Awarding Organisations equivalences will also be acceptable

Course cost is £495. Funding may be available for this course. Please enquire.

Assessments consist of a combination of practical and theory examinations.

The programme is structured to be completed in: 2 days

Qualification received will be BPEC Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS)

Interactive and engaging presentations, group activities and discussions, peer to peer learning, on-going feedback. Instead of an exam learners will complete a short knowledge test and create two pledges aimed at reducing emissions individually as well as collectively.

Upon completion of the course and approval of the pledges, participants will receive certification as Carbon Literate individuals.

Attendees understand the basics of climate change science and have the ability to gauge the gravity of the challenges we face.
They are able to use and interpret a variety of information to explore how climate change is impacting us all now and in the future.
Learners can identify ways of taking action on a personal and organisational level to reduce emissions.
They are equipped with a range of tools and strategies for communicating with others about climate change and how to take action.
