Can Anyone Register for the GEC?

 
Anyone thinking about a career in the energy sector should consider adding the Global Energy Certification (GEC) to their resume. This online qualification was put together by NRG Expert, a company that specialises in helping businesses with energy-related issues and strategies. The course is 100% online and can be completed at your own leisure over the course of 12 months from anywhere in the world.

The qualification touches on a range of different topics, including renewable energy & biofuels, oil reserves & shale oil, and electricity and gas deregulation. Each topic is explored in depth and then all are examined at the end of the course with a single two hour examination, which is available to take online. Exams take place on the 10th of every month and students can choose which exam to take provided it has been at least six weeks since they registered for the course.

With a topic as complex as energy, you might be wondering whether students need any background knowledge before commencing the course. The GEC has been designed to be comprehensive. This means that everything you need to complete the exam is contained within the study material provided by NRG Expert. Therefore, there are no academic requirements before embarking on the course. Simply a good level of motivation and strong work ethic will do the trick. Remember that this course is entirely online so students are in charge of their own time-keeping and discipline.

Unlike a lot of energy courses, the GEC is an international certification and is therefore recognised around the world. What’s more, the GEC is open to applicants from all over the world. The final exam is online so it can be done from a remote location. This opens up the opportunity to complete the GEC to people from far flung corners of the earth and gives everyone the chance to boost their resume with an additional qualification.

So, who exactly takes the GEC? GEC students come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some students are young people who are still deciding on a career and want to explore the possibility of going into energy by gaining a relevant qualification. Other students are professionals looking to move up the career ladder by broadening their understanding of the energy sector. There are also professionals who want a complete career change and use the GEC to give them an overview of a potential new career option.

Regardless of your background or career status, the GEC is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to learn more about the energy industry. The qualification is fully accredited and is an impressive addition to a resume. Not only will it make your application stand out, but it will also equip you with the skills you need to excel in a career in energy.

The largest solar farms in the world

Image
Solar energy is gaining in popularity. Most people know solar power as the rooftop panels that are being installed on more and more houses; or projects like Elon Musk’s Solar Roof. However, there are many different applications for solar and many ways energy can be generated using the power of the sun. Electricity is the most common use, but solar energy can also be used to heat water for use in the home, or a swimming pool, etc. Solar arrays can also be used to redirect the beams of the sun to a central point which is then converted to heat energy to drive turbines, much like a coal plant would use a burner – only this time there are no emissions, and just clean energy. A large array of solar panels, be it photovoltaic or thermal, is called a solar farm. Here we take a look at a few of the biggest in the world. Tengger Desert Solar Park Located in China, the world’s largest solar farm uses solar PV panels to generate 1,500MW of electricity. This plant covers 43 square kil...

Water Markets, Privatization and Deregulation

Image
Energy Expert  To bring demand and supply into balance, water markets are necessary. Under a market system, prices are not regulated, but are determined by the free exchange of water rights. In most countries where water is scarce or costly to access, systems of rights for water have emerged either through custom or through laws and regulations. The rights define the amount of water to which the owner is entitled. With rights well defined, water markets allow owners to make better decisions about the water they use. They can decide for themselves whether to use the water or trade the right. The owner of the right may choose to use the water himself when the market price is low. In fact, if the price is low enough the owner may even decide to enter the market and purchase additional water. When prices are high, however, the owner may find it cost effective to conserve water and sell it. While water right markets are emerging all over the world, they are still in their infa...

The Global Nuclear Report

Image
Nuclear power has been a source of much contention for some time now and the argument of whether it should be harnessed to its fullest potential has been hotly debated. Whichever side you stand on, there is no denying that having a solid understanding of the ins and outs of nuclear power is essential for getting to grips with the global energy industry. Especially now that it looks like nuclear power seems to be creeping back on to the world’s stage in various different forms. While the West appears to be focusing its attention on revamping existing nuclear facilities, the big Asian powers are in the process of building new ones. Japan and South Korea, in particular, are quickly climbing the nuclear energy ladder by producing new reactors and developing an unrivalled expertise in the area. Elsewhere in the world, Russia is currently exploring the possibilities of long-term uranium supply contracts – especially with Kazakhstan who is currently the world’s number one producer ...
