The REEPRO team developed training kits for 3 different target groups:

Level 1 – Renewable energy experts

Trainer and multiplier (scientists, engineers, architects etc. with a higher education degree as well as local and national government representatives)

 

Level 2 – Technicians

with basic understanding of engineering subjects

 

Level 3 – Community stakeholders

with often very basic education level

The existing DGS photovoltaic, solar thermal and bio-energy guidebooks, training material of the Asian REEPRO partners and demand surveys performed in the first REEPRO project year formed the basis for the development of the training kits. The different local framework conditions, such as educational competence, available and appropriate technologies, economic situation, available biomass etc. were considered during the preparation of local training kits especially for the generation of localized chapters for the training of economical skills. The level 1 of the local training kits was developed in English and afterwards translated into Lao and Khmer. This proceeding assures transparency on the detailed content of the local training kit versions.

The level 2 and 3 of the training kits were developed in Lao and Khmer and only the final version will be translated into English. All first versions of the training kits were further developed according the lessons learned during its application. The final versions of the training kits are currently in preparation. The interim versions of all 3 levels will be published on CD. The first and the final version of the text book will be published as hard copies. Please contact reepro@dgs.de in case you want to order books.
