Practical, industry-recognised courses you can start today — self-paced and built for where you’re starting from.
Acquire knowledge about the EU Battery Regulation and the Battery Passport along the battery value chain in this specialised training module.
The Battery Manufacturing Elements course covers foundational knowledge behind the production of lithium-ion batteries and is suitable for entry-level technicians or engineers.
The course will initially explain the fundamentals of lithium-ion battery architecture before diving into the manufacturing process and the major steps involved. Factors affecting manufacturing will be explored including the manufacturing environment and quality management. Finally, the course will identify standard formats of lithium-ion batteries and their applications.
The Safe Manufacturing and Handling of Lithium-ion Batteries course covers best general safety practices in the context of a battery manufacturing environment. This course is suited to entry-level workers involved in the production or manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries.
This course starts by providing an overview of the manufacturing system before explaining the operation safety controls in place to protect workers. The later sections of the course focus on detection, escalation, and reporting of issues; all of which are undertaken to minimise future risks and make the workplace safer.
An introduction to the fundamentals of battery technology, from cell components to state of charge. Suitable for beginners, and a useful refresher for those with a technical background.
Go beyond the fundamentals of the Battery System and examine each step of battery system production in far greater detail, in a live seminar delivered online or in the classroom.
Virtual power plants, or VPPs, are an emerging technology with the potential to facilitate the shift from centralised to decentralised energy, provide additional income for battery system owners, and support network stability and system balancing. This online three-part sprint course is aimed at anyone interested in joining a virtual power plant, or anyone keen to learn more about how the technology works.
Upon completion of the course, participants will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of VPPs, the value proposition for participants, how to compare offerings from different VPP operators, and the challenges facing the VPP industry going forward.
The course consists of three videos totalling 15 minutes, with a short quiz after each video. There are no prerequisites for this course.
The rapid rise of connected solar, battery storage, and smart devices has transformed Australia’s energy landscape, but internet connectivity introduces new cybersecurity risks to households and the wider grid.
This course provides a straightforward introduction to safeguarding these systems, with no prior background in cybersecurity required. Through five practical modules, you will learn how these devices communicate, where the primary digital vulnerabilities lie, and the necessary steps to protect them from cyber threats.
With more people realising the potential of Electric Vehicles (EVs) as portable power stations, "vehicle-to-grid" is fast becoming one of the hottest topics of discussion within the industry. From sleek lines and silent engines, these batteries on wheels can be much more than luxury cars, they could be part of the solution for a 100% renewable energy grid.
The Vehicle-to-Grid sprint course is relevant for anyone wishing to develop their technical understanding of EVs. It provides a look into the current technologies in place, the vehicles that can facilitate vehicle-to-grid, and the future of vehicle-to-grid as the industry moves forward. It also discusses vehicle-to-grid charging and the opportunities this brings to consumers and the overall energy market.
This seminar builds on the Introduction to Battery Systems module, examining the production process in considerably greater depth. It is delivered live, either online or in the classroom.
The New Home Battery Technologies course covers new developments in energy storage solutions for residents, while also discussing how residents with home batteries can benefit from dynamic energy pricing.
In addition to home batteries, this course explores how emerging technologies like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) are redefining the relationship between residents and the grid.
This course covers BESS installation and maintenance for electricians, technicians, installers, and operators. This course will describe key BESS components, the process and requirements for BESS installation and maintenance, and consider critical safety, electrical, and environmental considerations. Throughout the course, relevant Australian and international standards will be referenced.
A live online seminar on the full battery cell production chain, from electrode production to cell finalisation, with a look at current industry challenges and solutions. Enrol to reserve your seat in the next scheduled session.
