Frequently asked questions

• We are Contractors and work in Industry every week, so our experience is current. Combined, our Trainers experience in Renewable Energy is 80 years – no other RTO in Australia could boast that.
• We focus on providing a course that increases your employment and business opportunities; you will not be doing meaningless theory just to pad out the course.
• We run courses in Regional areas, over weekends and at our seven Centres across Australia
• When you ring us you talk to the Trainers, not layers of Admin staff.
• We commit to supporting our participants after the course. We give technical advice and assist with designs and industry documentation.

• Some courses are ‘face to face’ – Split Systems,  Electrical Contractors and Stand Alone Power Systems. That is because they need to be.
• The others have a Zoom ‘on line’ component. You are in a virtual classroom so can have discussions and complete theory. We then travel to places all over Australia to deliver one day ‘Practicals’. Note that some places have more Practical days than others.
• You can be anywhere in the country to participate in these courses.

• We like to start early so usually 7.30 am – 4.00 pm, whether on line or ‘face to face’. This is NSW time.

• We have spent close to a million dollars on equipment for our Centres over 10 years, and continually update.
• Tesla 2 is the latest addition in some of our Centres.

• Are you kidding? They are too busy and would never finish it. Hitting the books after a busy day just doesn’t work.
• We do require a pre-course assignment to be done though, but this take up to 3 hours and is an introduction to the course.
• All work is completed in class time.

We ran Australia’ first EV charging course in Sydney in April 2019. We are contractors and have been installing chargers for 6 years. We also own two EVs and convert ICE vehicles to EVs. Neil Beveridge is our Trainer in this area and he is a heavy diesel mechanic as well as an electrician. Neil has done four years of training in EVs, overseas and in Australia, and runs our Auto Technicians courses. Skillbuild hope to have one of the first bi directional chargers in our Albury Centre early in 2023; just need the DNSPs to approve them. Then our Nissan Leaf becomes our battery storage system. Exciting times in this space and if you are interested just contact Neil – [email protected] .
