Smart Sustainable Power Engineering - Cork

Our part-time Postgraduate Certificate Level 9 Award in Smart Sustainable Power Engineering will educate and train power grid engineers to design, operate, test and maintain the developing smart grid.

It is recommended that participants have at least a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering Level 8 degree or equivalent internationally recognised qualification in Electrical Power Engineering, Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or a closely related subject. Applicants with other qualifications and/or experience will be considered on an individual basis. For candidates without level 8 qualifications, a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process can be undertaken to assess the candidates' suitability for the course. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
