eLearning Courses

Why enroll in a Willis College Distance eLearning Course?

Course Offerings

We currently offer 9 different eLearning Courses on various clean energy technologies, including 4 courses on solar technologies, and 5 courses on other technologies.  The courses can be taken separately (one per technology) or as part of multi-technology programs.

We plan to add a future course dealing specifically with green fuel feasibility analysis for vehicle fleet (cars, buses, trucks...) upgrades to more efficient and less polluting transportation fuel technologies.

Our courses can be taken as part of various programs combining various related technologies. Our Green Power program covers various clean technologies to produce electricity. Our Green Heat program covers various technologies typically used in the built environment to produce clean heat.

All RS series courses include RS101 when taken individually, during the first week. Participants who have already taken RS101 are exempted from the first week. Students access courses from our state of the art Web Based Learning Management System at www.cleanenergyeducation.net and our course videos and multimedia material as well as web conferencing.

Check the Clean Energy Calendar for scheduled course dates.

Note: Courses and programs prefixed with "RS" leverage and expand on the software and tools developed with the support of UNEP and the Government of Canada RETScreen International program.

(*)  Hours provided are based on a combination of Notional e-Learning hours and evaluated time to complete projects.
‘Notional e-learning hours’ is the estimated learning time taken by the ‘average’ student to achieve the specified learning outcomes of the course-unit or programme. They are therefore not a precise measure but provide students with an indication of the amount of study and degree of commitment expected. Notional e-learning time includes learning time (readings, online lectures, webinars, tutorials, laboratory practicals, workshops, fieldwork etc.), time spent on preparing and carrying out formative and summative assessments (written coursework, presentations, exams etc.) and time spent on private study, whether in term-time or in vacations.
