Management of Renewable Energies

According to the decision of the Vocational Educational Institutions Authorization Council, we were granted the right to implement innovative higher vocational education programs in "Energy Management" and "Management of Renewable Energies” adapted to the needs of the labor market.

*Components of vocational programs will be implemented remotely!

The 2-year higher vocational program in management of renewable energies was developed with the financial support of the USAID Industry-led Skills Development Program, to develop and introduce such a vocational educational program that ensures the training of a competitive staff in the local and international markets.

What will I learn?

You will gain in-depth knowledge to competently plan, organize, and implement the activities of a renewable energy manager; understand and apply renewable energy legislation and regulations; assess the environmental impact of renewable energy; and plan, manage, and supervise the construction, installation, and operation of hydropower, wind power, solar power (PV), geothermal power, and biomass power projects.

Who will I be?

After completing your studies, you will be awarded the highest vocational qualification in the management of renewable energies. This qualification will enable you to be employed as a manager in private and public organizations involved in the renewable energy sector. Your potential roles could include overseeing activities related to the construction, installation, maintenance, operation, supervision, and servicing of renewable energy installations, devices, and systems.

You may also work in the installation and inspection of electrical and heating equipment and systems for both domestic and commercial buildings. Additionally, opportunities may arise in government agencies responsible for regulating and promoting the development of renewable energy systems, as well as in engineering and consulting companies that provide technical support and services for the use and development of renewable energy.

Moreover, your career could extend to research organizations and institutes focused on developing renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies. There are also opportunities in educational institutions, where you could contribute to the training and retraining of renewable energy specialists as a teacher, mentor, instructor, or technical expert.
