ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS QUALIFICATION
 
  • NICEIC the UK’s largest certification body for the building services industry, launches brand new qualification from Awarding Body EAL
  • Covering Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) the Level 3 qualification includes everything contractors need to know to undertake quality installations
  • Mapped to the IET Energy Storage Code of Practice the qualification meets the requirements should businesses wish to apply to become MCS certified
NICEIC has further bolstered its industry-leading training portfolio today, adding an all-new Electrical Energy Storage Systems Qualification. Offered in partnership with the respected awarding body EAL, this qualification covers everything contractors need to know about designing and installing Electrical Energy Storage Systems.
The Level 3 qualification will be delivered through NICEIC's approved training center's, and will consist of two days of face-to-face training, a multiple-choice on-screen exam and a practical assessment.
“Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) are the latest step on the road to net zero, as an increasing number of consumers choose to generate their own electricity, store it and use it later”. Said NICEIC’s Head of Training Nik Mitchell.

"Recognising this and the importance of upholding industry standards, we have taken great care to ensure that this qualification covers everything a contractor needs to know.
“Addressing design, specification, installation, inspection, testing, commissioning, and handover we are confident this product will soon become the gold standard for those looking to validate their skills in this field.”
Kevin Sparrow, EAL's industry portfolio manager – BSE, added:

"EAL's new regulated qualification and MCS recognised L3 Award was developed with contractors, battery manufacturers, NICEIC and the ECA. It follows the IET's Code of Practice and industry documents, ensuring contractors will learn the theory and skills associated with this technology, which will help them meet industry requirements and expand their business opportunities."

Mitchell continued, " covering all bases this EESS qualification has also been carefully designed to prepare business’s for the option to add MCS Certification for this technology should they wish to.”


The new EESS Level 3 Qualification, will be offered alongside NICEIC's current EESS fundamentals course, a CPD product aimed at operatives looking for an overview of the topic.
