About Course

The energy sector is rapidly transforming towards sustainability, creating high demand for professionals skilled in renewable energy, smart grids, and energy storage. 

Global policies and industries are accelerating the adoption of these solutions, requiring a workforce adept at integrating renewable generation, energy storage, and digital grid technologies. 

This specialised micro-credential empowers learners with in-depth expertise in sustainable power generation, advanced energy storage solutions, and intelligent smart grid design. 

Learners will gain hands-on expertise in key areas such as sustainable energy generation and renewable integration, energy storage system applications, and smart grid design and analysis. This will prepare learners to design, analyse, and implement next-generation energy systems that enhance efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

Integrating online and in-person delivery, the micro-credential combines hands-on learning activities to equip learners with practical skills for careers in renewable integration, energy storage, and smart grid deployment – positioning them as key contributors to the global transition toward sustainable energy.

This micro-credential is part of the CSM Pathway in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
