Frequently Asked Questions

Is this track purely online?
No. Electrical & Automation requires physical lab sessions for safety and hands-on practice. Virtual theory classes are supplemented by physical lab days at SKENT facilities.
Will I work with real solar systems?
Yes. The capstone project involves designing and installing a real solar system. You will work with actual panels, inverters, and batteries under instructor supervision.
Is there a market for solar skills in Nigeria?
Absolutely. Nigeria's power deficit makes solar one of the highest-growth sectors. Trained installers can earn ₦80k–₦250k/month and solar businesses scale rapidly.
Do I receive tools?
SKENT provides tools during lab sessions. The Advanced and Professional Elite tracks include a personal toolkit allowance.
