EcoPowerHub Academy training programs
After the labs, you know which exam to book. Each program is held to the same lab-based standard — real service scenarios, graded decisions, and a debrief that explains the reasoning — then you book the credential that applies where you work.
Prep here for EPRA, NABCEP, EPA 608, NATE, CEC, SAQCC Gas and ESSCI. EcoPowerHub Academy is the prep; the examining body is the issuer.

EcoPowerHub Academy — Solar Technical Training — East Africa
Diagnostic method first, delivered remotely: graded labs you work from anywhere in East Africa, on your own hours, with no cohort dates. You work the way an EPRA or NITA assessor watches you work — sources identified, isolation proved, decisions made in order, and an evidence pack that stands up after you leave the site. Hybrid, battery and grid-tie fault-finding is built in, mapped to EPRA T1–T3 scope in Kenya and to installer expectations in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. The Academy awards a training credential only; EPRA grants the Kenya solar PV technician licence.
View program →EcoPowerHub Academy — Solar Technical Training — United States
Code-aware diagnostic labs for U.S. technicians on the NABCEP path — not a replacement for install-yard hours, but a structured way to sharpen judgment before the exam and the inspection. Every call is tied back to the NEC clause behind it: cold Voc, ampacity with correction factors, 705.12 interconnection, rapid shutdown you verify rather than assume. Graded labs mirror the decision order NABCEP expects from PV Associate through PV Installation Professional, with safety-fail marking on unsafe method. NABCEP issues the credential; state authorities license electricians; the Academy provides training and exam prep only.

Diagnostic method first, delivered remotely: graded solar labs you work from anywhere in South Africa, on your own hours, with no cohort dates. You practise one systematic fault sequence — isolation proved, hybrid and backup behaviour separated from PV and grid faults under load-shedding conditions — and you record it the way an assessor or an inspector reads it: PV GreenCard-aligned checklist evidence captured as you work, and COC-ready documentation that stands on its own. SAPVIA-endorsed assessment issues the PV GreenCard, the QCTO pathway issues the Solar PV Service Technician (NQF) qualification, and a registered person issues the electrical CoC; the Academy prepares you for all three and issues a training credential only.
View program →EcoPowerHub Academy — Solar Technical Training — Shared Core
The shared foundation the three region tracks are built on: 21 modules of graded field work — isolate energy safely, commission to spec, and diagnose live PV, storage and hybrid systems without guessing. Enrol here if no regional track fits your market.

EcoPowerHub Academy — HVAC Technical Training
Four open learning paths — residential HVAC, commercial refrigeration/RAC, packaged rooftop units, and installation & commissioning — built on graded diagnostic decision labs with the same safety-fail standard as the solar track, plus timed exam-style mocks and EPA 608 / NATE-style exam preparation. One verifiable Academy certificate per path. Paths E and F are in development.

EcoPowerHub Academy — Service Leadership (pilot)
A pilot leadership layer for owners, service managers and supervisors: set the standard, place technicians honestly, supervise without micromanaging, cut callbacks, and run one service flow in EcoService OS.
View program →Battery Storage Specialist
Technical training for storage systems: hybrid architectures, BMS behaviour under load, thermal risk and defensible commissioning of storage assets.
View program →EV Charger Technical Training
Load management, earthing arrangements, OCPP fault interpretation and first-visit repair on public and residential chargers.
View program →Appliance Repair Technician
Sealed systems, control board reasoning and first-visit fix discipline. Delivered on FixGrid Academy, our appliance-repair property — not an EcoPowerHub Academy graded track.

Industrial / Plant Maintenance Technical Training
Rotating plant, permit systems, condition monitoring and shutdown work where the cost of being wrong is measured in lost production.

Study the graded labs, then book the credential that applies where you work. EcoPowerHub Academy is the prep. The examining body is the issuer.
| Market | What you book after the labs |
|---|---|
| Kenya | EPRA Solar PV technician T1–T3. You sit the class that matches the work you are licensed to do. |
| East Africa | EPRA and regional installer expectations for the wider market — ERA (Uganda), EWURA (Tanzania) and RURA (Rwanda) set the local context you work under. |
| South Africa | Electrical CoC and occupational PV pathways; ECSA where engineering sign-off applies; SAQCC Gas for in-scope gas work. |
| United States | Solar: the NABCEP path plus your state electrical board. HVAC: EPA Section 608 at an EPA-approved proctor (NATE, ESCO, HVAC Excellence), then NATE. |
| Australia | Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation plus your state electrical licence. |
| India and skills-council markets | ESSCI and the local assessments already named on the HVAC track. |
Brazil: grid and CREA rules vary by state — prep first, then confirm with the local authority. Exam and licence fees are paid to the examining body. Academy completion is training.

Every discipline runs on a shared technical core, then a region overlay maps it to the authority in your market. Each overlay names the exam you book in that market, and the authority issues it.
Workshop package: Service Leadership in the Energy Transition
A short, facilitator-ready module for leaders working across distributed solar, storage and virtual power plants — with regional lenses for Kenya and East Africa, the United States and Australia, plus a printable facilitator guide. Complementary to the operational Service Leadership pilot, not a replacement for it.
