Solar Energy CPD courses

Solar Energy CPD courses from Joju Solar

Joju Solar now offer a range of Continuing Professional Development courses (CPD) for buildings professionals including architects, building contractors, roofing contractors and project developers. The courses take the form of a 1-2 hour seminar, and allow attendees to claim CPD points for attending the workshop. Gaining CPD points is a means of demonstrating continual learning within your profession, for furthering your career and gaining specialist skills.

Course Leader, Dr Chris Jardine

Our CPD courses are delivered by our Technical Director, Dr Chris Jardine. Chris has worked on solar PV since 2000, and so has nearly 2 decades experience of the sector. As well as his role at Joju, Chris is also a Senior Lecturer at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute, where he runs an annual MSc course on Energy. He has a reputation as a highly engaging speaker and educator.

It’s quite a unique mix – being able to bring academic level information, coupled with on the ground experience of delivering PV projects – and this is something we aim to bring across in our CPD lectures.
