The Solar Energy Society of Alberta and the Grant MacEwan Institute of Environmental Studies are hosting a Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA) Solar Hot Water Installer Workshop. This course will provide the cognitive skills that are required to install solar hot water systems.
This workshop is an approved training course for the certification of experienced installers and provides a review of installation procedures, practices and requirements. Included in the workshop cost are two CanSIA manuals; STT 100 – Fundamentals and STT 200 – Installation, Maintenance and Design.
The exam (optional) that follows the workshop is an open book exam. If you intend to become a CanSIA Certified Solar Hot Water System Installer you must complete and pass the exam. You must pay separately for the exam (see below). To become a CanSIA Certified Solar Hot Water System Installer you also must complete a Fall Safety Workshop.
All those who register and make payment for this workshop before November 30th, 2010 will have the STT 100 and STT 200 manuals mailed to them in advance so participants can better prepare for the workshop and the exam.
Please note you do NOT have to be an experienced installer or a licensed plumber to participate in this workshop. However, in order to become a CanSIA Certified SHW Installer you will require installation experience. For inexperienced installers wishing to take this course you are permitted to fulfill the experience requirements at a later time.
