The new Certificate in High Voltage Electrical Systems [ 60 Credits at Level 6 ] is designed to upskill electricians and electrical engineers in the highly specialised area of High Voltage Electrical Systems. It aims to develop industry-recognised competence in areas such as High Voltage electrical installations, grid connections, substation maintenance and switching facilities.
The course is jointly delivered by SETU and TUS in a part-time, blended learning mode over one year - summer to summer. It utilises a work-based model and will have 30% of credits achieved in your place of work [Candidates must be able to complete their work-based learning in a mentored High Voltage environment].
