FC-C01National Certificate

National Certificate in Solar Energy Systems Installation

Uganda's electricity access programme leans on off grid solar, and the market employs installers across three tiers: solar companies serving the pay as you go home system market, contractors installing institutional systems for schools, health centres and businesses, and the service economy that maintains the hundreds of thousands of systems already on roofs.

FC-D02Diploma

Diploma in Renewable Energy and Battery Storage Technology

Uganda's energy transition has moved past the rooftop: commercial and industrial solar is the sector's growth engine, storage is arriving in containers, minigrids are a licensed industry, and every energy company's org chart shows the same hole between the installer and the engineer.

FC-D03Diploma

Diploma in Electric Mobility Technology

The vehicle transition is national industrial policy: electric two and three wheelers are scaling through swap operators and delivery fleets, assembly and every one of those businesses hires the same missing person: the high voltage certified technician who can service the vehicle, the pack and the charger, and read the data all three produce.

FC-H03Higher Diploma

Higher Diploma in Renewable Energy Systems Engineering

Uganda's electrification gap and its renewable resource meet in a sector expanding faster than its engineering capacity: mini grid developers, solar companies, commercial and industrial installers, utilities and donor funded access programmes all compete for the small number of people who can engineer a system rather than install one.
