The Solar Apprentice Training Subscription brings together all of our technical CPD courses in one place, designed to guide apprentices and new solar installers through practical, hands-on learning - plus our brand-new Solar Apprentice Training Workflow.

This workflow is built to train your apprentice from day one — even if they’ve never worked with solar — right through to understanding everything they need to know on the job to become the perfect solar sidekick. It covers the fundamentals of how solar works, electrical safety, compliance, tools, cable management, mounting systems, installation processes, labelling, batteries, and more — with quizzes at the end of each module to reinforce learning.

The subscription includes the same in-depth technical content available to accredited installers in our CPD program, but without the CPD points requirement - giving apprentices the opportunity to learn the right way, right from the start.

At launch, you’ll get immediate access to all existing technical courses, while the Solar Apprentice Training Workflow modules will continue to roll out progressively over the next 12 months. Each new module will unlock automatically in your apprentice’s online portal.
