Where Do I Start?

Deciding where to start depends on your answers to a few basic questions:
1. Do you have a specific area of interest (solar PV, solar hot water, sustainable building, etc.)?
2. Do you prefer a hands-on workshop or an online course?
3. Do you prefer to travel to your course or take one in your local region/online?
4. Is there a specific time period in which you'd like to complete your study?
