Finalization of the photovoltaic technician training curriculum, November 2018
Following the presentation in July 2018 of PROMESS and the provisional version of the training repository, adjustments were proposed and elements relating to entrepreneurship declined on the GERME model were added.
Training has been recalibrated in the form of modules (M1 = refresher course, M2 = SHS, etc.). This means that training is no longer offered as a single, continuous block lasting several months, but in the form of independent, progressive modules that can be interspersed with practical experience. This necessarily has an impact on the flow and planning of training courses, but also offers the possibility of organizing modules according to demand and needs.
