Renewables Energies + Professional Drone Pilot Certificate

Vocational training in renewable energies is a specialized program in energy generation. This program combines practical and theoretical learning to equip students with the skills for the assembly and/or maintenance of photovoltaic panels and wind towers, as well as project management and administration.

In a time like the present, where climate change is causing such adverse effects on our planet, the energy transformation towards green and renewable energies is not only an opportunity but an imminent necessity.

Do you know that every two weeks a new employee joins a company in the sector? Do you know that we are still far from achieving the goal set by the European Union?

In response to this labor and social need, FP Virolai, in collaboration with leading companies in the sector, offers this Advanced vocational training program in renewable energies, tailored to the current market’s needs.
