Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Briefly describe the techniques used in the different renewable energy production sectors,
  • List the main advantages and disadvantages of these production chains.

Ways & Means

  • Sub-groups activities, business cases, educational games.
  • Illustration by concrete industrial cases and current events.
  • Training integrating a complete environment of accompaniment of the trainees in their process of acquisition of the contents, proposed in three sequences:
  • Mobilize: allows participants to become familiar with the training, a few days before the course, by providing introductory content.
  • Training: the heart of the classroom training allowing a face-to-face meeting with the participants.
  • Anchor: After-the-fact support is provided to participants through supplemental content that allows those who wish to deepen their knowledge on the topics covered.

Learning assessment

  • Quizzes at the beginning and end of the course.
