Scottish Power Renewables funds college wind turbine courses

Scottish Power Renewables is working with two further education colleges in Scotland to develop and fund wind turbine technician training courses.

Next year 24 students will be able to enrol on pilot courses offered by Dumfries and Galloway College and Ayr College - the first step in qualifying as a wind turbine technician. 

The course, which is in the development stage, will consist of basic engineering skills and modules in wind turbine operation and maintenance. 

Simon Christian, managing director at Scottish Power Renewables, said: "The renewable energy industry in Scotland continually needs qualified technicians who can help to maintain wind turbines. We have been working hard to ensure that colleges can offer courses that deliver exactly what the industry needs in terms of skills, which in turn helps participants get employed in the industry on completing their course."
