The Most Frequently Asked Questions About Out GEC Programme.
It is completely natural that anyone about
to embark on a professional development course has a million and one questions
they want answered before they begin. The students taking the Global Energy Certification
are no different. Before signing up for the GEC, they want the who, what,
where, why and how explained in full, with a few other questions on the side.
There is an FAQ page on the GEC website
with a full breakdown of what people normally ask us before they start the
course. But, if you don’t fancy trawling through all of that, we, the team at
NRG Expert, are going to answer a few of the most pressing questions here for
your benefit.
What
are the Benefits of Taking the GEC
This is probably the most important
question you should be asking before taking any qualification. What is the
point of me doing this? In brief, taking the GEC is a way to enhance your
career by expanding your knowledge of the energy industry. It is a tangible way
to show the extent of your capabilities within the sector and is recognised and
respected by employers. It also puts you a step above your competitors and
gives you the tools you need not just to pass the exam, but to feel confident
as a professional in the energy sector.
How
Long Does it Take to Complete the GEC
You don’t want to sign up to a course that
is going to take you forever to complete. Fortunately, there is no set time
scale for the GEC, meaning that everyone can advance at his or her own pace. It
normally takes around 100 hours to complete the course. Once registered you
cannot take the exam within the first six weeks – and you wouldn’t want to
anyway – and you must have taken it within a year. Exams are once a month so
all you need to do is sign up for one when you are ready. If for whatever
reason you cannot do the exam within 12 months then contact NRG Expert and let us
know. We can normally accommodate your requirements for no extra cost.
How
Much Does it Cost to Do the GEC?
One of the main concerns people have when
deciding to engage in further study is money. The GEC costs £330 and this is a
one-off payment. This fee covers all of your study materials, the handbook
& study guide, payment for the examination and your certificate when you successfully
complete the course. As the course is 100% online, you won’t need to spend
money on relocating or travelling to and from and establishment everyday,
making this a very economical choice of course. The only extra cost will be
incurred in the case of failing the exam. Then you will need to pay £175 to
re-sit.
What
are the Entry Requirements for the GEC?
If you were worried that you might not be
able to take the GEC because you don’t have a background in energy then
rejoice. There are no requirements for the GEC, other than an interest in developing your knowledge of the energy industry. This makes the
course accessible for everyone, regardless of their previous education.
