Energies and energy transition Training

Learning Outcomes

• Analyse the current global energy mix and identify key drivers of energy transition.
• Evaluate different energy sources (fossil fuels, nuclear, renewables) based on environmental, economic, and social criteria.
• Apply principles of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies in practical contexts.
• Assess the impact of energy policies and regulations on organisational energy strategies.
• Design a basic energy transition roadmap for a specific sector or organisation.
• Demonstrate understanding of the role of innovation and technology in accelerating energy transition.

Target Audience

This course is designed for professionals across industries seeking to understand energy dynamics and the shift to cleaner energy, including managers, engineers, policymakers, and sustainability officers.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions reinforce theoretical concepts through hands-on activities. Learners will measure energy consumption, analyze renewable energy data, and simulate energy system operations using software tools and simple hardware.

Practical Activities

• Energy Audit and Measurement — Learners conduct an energy audit of a simulated building using meters and data loggers, measuring electricity use of appliances and lighting. (4h)
• Solar PV System Sizing and Simulation — Using a PV design software, learners size a solar PV system for a given load profile and location, then simulate its performance. (4h)
• Wind Turbine Performance Analysis — Learners analyze wind speed data and use a small-scale wind turbine model to measure power output under different wind conditions. (4h)
• Energy Transition Scenario Planning — Using a spreadsheet model, learners create a 10-year energy transition plan for a town, balancing demand, renewables, storage, and costs. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
