Grid-Connect Battery Storage Systems Design & Install Course

Students must hold an unrestricted electrical licence issued by an Australian state or territory.

Electrical apprentices can also enrol, but a Statement of Attainment will only be issued once they hold an unrestricted electrical licence or can demonstrate completion of the applicable prerequisite units.

Electrical prerequisite requirements are:

One of:

• UEEEL0039 — Design, install and verify compliance and functionality of general electrical installations
• UEERE0051 — Apply electrical principles to renewable energy design

AND:

• UEEEL0012 — Install low voltage wiring, appliances, switchgear and associated accessories

This course also requires a Statement of Attainment in:

• UEERE0061 — Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems

Students who do not hold UEERE0061 but hold one of the recognised superseded units may be eligible to complete a gap assessment for UEERE0061:

• UEERE0011
• UEENEEK135A
• UEENEEK035C
• UEENEEK035B

Students will need:

• A computer or laptop with a reliable internet connection
• A scientific calculator
• Access to a personal email account
• Access to the required Australian Standards:
  • AS/NZS 5139 — Electrical installations — Safety of battery systems for use with power conversion equipment
  • AS/NZS 5033 — Photovoltaic arrays
  • AS/NZS 4777.1 — Grid connection of energy systems via inverters
  • AS/NZS 3000 — Wiring rules
  • AS/NZS 3008.1.1 — Selection of cables Part 1.1

The workbook required for this course is included in enrolment and will be posted to you free of charge.

If Training Up determines that a student’s Learning, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) levels are below the level required to successfully complete the course, and the student has not yet submitted coursework for assessment, Training Up may offer a full refund of the online course material and practical training component. If the student chooses to continue, the standard cancellation and refund policy applies.

If cancellation occurs within 10 business days of the online course account being created, and the student has not accessed the online course, the deposit will be refunded in full.

If cancellation occurs within 10 business days, after the online course has been accessed but before any coursework has been submitted for assessment, the deposit will be refunded less a $440 cancellation fee.

If cancellation occurs more than 10 business days after the account was created, or after the first coursework — the Workplace Health & Safety Assessment — has been submitted, whichever happens first, no refund will be provided.

Any workbook must be returned in unused and undamaged condition. Training Up may charge $159 where a workbook is returned damaged or unusable, with that amount deducted from the refund.

For circumstances outside those listed above, refer to the Course Fees, Payments and Refunds policies in the Student Handbook.

After successfully completing the course, students will receive a Statement of Attainment for:

• UEERE0054 — Conduct site survey for grid-connected photovoltaic and battery storage systems
• UEERE0060 — Design grid-connected battery storage systems
• UEERE0077 — Install battery storage equipment power conversion equipment to grid
