About Course
The Course is designed to provide students and post-graduate professionals for a specific knowledge in operational management dealing with renewable energy resources related to Geothermics.
The Course will give preliminary skills for exploitation of geothermal energy of any enthalpy for numerous uses of the human life. It also provides participants with the basic professional know-how required for participating and contributing to operational management of regional, national, and international projects, carried out by public, private and non-profit Organizations.
The course is addressed to pre-bachelor students as well as to the staff personnel of international Organization, Energy Agencies operating in Africa and professionals involved in renewable energies exploitation and on field activities.
