FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Contract training can offer several benefits when compared to our regular classes. With contract training, we can customize the content to meet the needs of your team. Customization allows you to skip the parts of our courses that you don’t need while focusing on the topics that are important to you. Contract training allows your team to ask questions in a setting that will ensure confidentiality since they won’t be in class with potential competitors. Our contract training can also cover topics that aren’t discussed in our regular classes, and they can also cover subjects in more depth. Our instructors come to you for contract training, so you don’t have to pay to have your team travel to SEI.

Contract training costs vary depending on several factors, such as the training location, number of days, number of participants, and how many instructors are needed. The level of customization required also plays a role. To receive an accurate quote, please complete this brief questionnaire—our Business Development team will follow up promptly with a tailored proposal.

That depends on how much you want to learn! Typical contract courses are 3-5 days but can be multiple weeks if you are looking for advanced topics or numerous subjects. We can also provide half-day classes either in person or online.

SEI travels all over the world to conduct solar training! We can most likely travel to your location provided there’s classroom space and the required equipment like a projector and internet access. However, if there is a security or logistics concern that could prevent us from traveling to you, we can work with you to find a location that will be suitable for the training.

Absolutely. SEI can modify our existing online classes or create custom online content delivered with a live instructor or as a self-paced on-demand course. With self-passed classes, we can provide an instructor to answer questions through emails, online forums, or by scheduling live office hours.

We can provide training on any photovoltaic-related topic. The most cost-effective training utilizes content from our existing courses. Many companies we’ve worked with combine elements of several SEI classes to meet their specific needs. We can also create custom content based on the topics you’d like to cover using our industry-leading subject matter experts working with our instructional design team.

SEI courses are available in English and Spanish.

Yes, we do. If your team will be taking ten or more courses, we can set up a discount agreement of $100 off any regularly priced class. This discount does not apply to the short form continuing education classes.

SEI is pleased to work with a myriad of companies, universities, and other organizations to provide training worldwide. To reach our broadest audience, we are not looking for exclusive partners or agents at this time. However, we can work with you to offer SEI’s training on a contract basis or discuss other options to work together.
