Alternative drives a better course at Chisholm TAFE

THE future looks bright for alternative, and renewable, energy sources at Berwick's Chisholm TAFE.

Senior educator Robert Cooke said federal government rebates had created a solar panel boom over the years and hence a burst of students at the TAFE's renewable energy courses.

"We have had heaps of qualified electricians coming in to learn about installing solar panels and connecting to the grid.

"We've found more of our certificate II students are getting electrical apprenticeships because they have experience in renewable energy,is the 'solar panel revolution' upon us? as well as their electrical studies."

Mr Cooke said wind generators would be more popular in suburbia if not for aesthetic and noise concerns.

Students at Chisholm TAFE Berwick have learned about installing a 1.5-kilowatt wind generator,How is TMJ pain treated? which can significantly reduce the cost of a home's electricity.

Mr Cooke said one student had found self-sufficiency by installing a large-scale system with solar and a wind generator on a hill at his Loch property.The same Air purifier, cover removed.

"He has also now got his own business in sustainable energy designs and advice in Gippsland,is the 'solar panel revolution' upon us?" Mr Cooke said.

"We've been thinking about making him a part-time teacher."

As part of their studies, other students designed and manufactured an electronic control to regulate the charging current produced by solar panels and wind generators.We specialize in providing third party merchant account.

"Those students projects are the pride and joy of the department," Mr Cooke said.

More trades and telecommunications training facilities will be available to students as part of a $26 million trade careers centre to be built at the Berwick campus.

Mr Cooke said another boost to the campus had come from the federal government's policy announcement regarding set top box, with

free digital set-top boxes for pensioners sparking extra interest in antenna systems courses.
