Hi
Have you tried looking at www.tecg.co.uk as they run courses. Based in Three Legged Cross (about 10 miles outside Bournemouth). Considering using them myself.
Hope this helps

Try Grants in Devizes or Training Express in Westbury

C&G 2372 was due to be overtaken by 2399 in April, but I don't know if C&G have tied it all up yet. The only place ready to roll with the 2399 is CAT near Aberystwyth. Not cheap but includes accommodation/food? The 2399 is a different beast and has 2 modules that basically equate to the 2372, plus a core module in renewables. Once obtaining the core module, you can then add on other renewable disciplines (ie solar thermal/wind/ground source). If you just want PV then maybe get in on the 2372 before it ends.

C&G is more to do with installation than the NIC which is more to do with MCS.

If you are looking for MCS accreditation New Career Skills run a course in Southampton. This can be done with a deal from Ubbink where they will refund your course and accreditation fees if you buy 10kw of gear from them afterwards. Not a bad number.

Hi do you have any more information about 'CAT' near aberystwyth? I tried to google them, but not to much avail! Is there a website?

Thank you
