Small Wind Turbine Installer Certification Course
This course is designed to prepare readers for jobs in the Small Wind Power installer workforce. This is accomplished through a solid Wind Turbine theory course with installation directions. In addition, the course prepares the reader to challenge the industry standard Small Wind Installer certification exam from the Electronic Technicians Association (ETA) as well as the Certified Energy Practitioners (CEP) exam from the NABCEP.
One of the main components of the green technology movement is the production of electrical power that does not involve or produce carbon-based products or byproducts. Wind turbines (devices used to generate electricity from wind energy) have long been a common alternative energy generation sources. What makes wind energy so interesting as an alternative energy source is that the amount of wind energy that can be produced by wind turbines in some geographical regions. This fact makes wind turbine systems one of the most interesting and commercially-viable alternative energy options.

Environmental Monitoring Course
Among the main objectives of the green technology movement is the measuring and monitoring of our immediate environment, including the air we breathe, the water we drink, the environmental noise to which we are increasingly subjected, and our exposure to light radiation from the sun. Along with these concerns comes the recognition that our soils have also been mistreated, often to the point where they can no longer support terrestrial life. Through the serious and continuous application of green technology, much of the environmental damage that has already occurred can be reversed, and future environmental harm can be prevented.
This course is designed to prepare readers in doing exactly that, and to prepare them for careers involving the observation, evaluation, monitoring, and restoration of the environment upon which we all depend for our very existence. Readers will be prepared to challenge for any of the industry standard certifications currently being formulated to qualify future workers for environmental monitoring vocations.

Mini/Micro-Hydro Power Technician Course
One of the main components of the green technology movement is the production of electrical power that does not involve or produce carbon-based products or byproducts. Hydro power systems (devices used to generate mechanical or electricity power from the energy in moving water) have long been common alternative energy generation sources. Most of the world’s large hydro power potential has already been engaged in the form of large dams. However, there is a growing interest in the mini and micro-hydro power generation systems that can be implemented by individual users with access to moving water.

Biofuels Technician Training Course
This course is designed to prepare readers for jobs in the bio fuels workforce. This is accomplished through a solid biomass/biofuels theory course that focuses on the production of ethanol and biodiesel fuels.
-
Smart Grid Technician Training Course
An important component in the development of the green technology mindset is the emergence of the Smart Grid, which is meant to empower utility providers, businesses, and consumers to manage energy more effectively. This is achieved through greater control over how energy is delivered and consumed. With the increased use of digitally controlled electrical devices, the operation of a Smart Grid becomes a pivotal alternative energy development, greatly affecting modern residential and commercial energy consumers.

Green Technology Course
This course is designed to introduce readers to the major green technologies and to begin preparing them for job roles in these new technical fields. The goal of this book is to provide you with a wide range of tools, so you can choose which is most appropriate in a given situation. We will explore solar and wind power, as well as hydroelectric, biomass and biofuels, fuel cells, green building technologies, energy conservation practices, environmental monitoring, transportation issues, compliance requirements… even how we might one day harness the power of the ocean. There are amazing opportunities out there just waiting for people with the curiosity and insight to take advantage of the way the world is changing almost daily.
