Thumbs Up For Boots On The Roof!

Mar-23-2009 By Barbara Zak

My first post of the year was entitled “There’s Green Boot On The Roof.” At Boots On The Roof, they offer various solar training bootcamps for electricians and entrepreneurs interested in starting their own solar business, or updating their skills and becoming solar certified.

Boots on the Roof, delivers top-quality market-ready training programs for solar energy industry professionals.  They are the solar energy training division of Unitek Education, a long-time national Learning Partner of high-tech companies (having received the highest education honors awarded by Microsoft, Cisco, Citrix, & RedHat).  Their team has a 16-year track record of successfully partnering with large organizations to train tens of thousands of students nationwide.

Last week, I spoke with Steve Watkins, Director of Professional Services at Unitek, about how the classes were going, and if he had any feedback that I could share with you. Here is what he had to say:

“We do have a testimonials page on our web site now, which are just short excerpts of longer testimonials we’ve received.  Below is one that came to me directly yesterday, with permission to quote.”

” I came away with a sense that these folks are clear on how best to manage all parts of the equation; how to bring various skill-sets and groups of professionals together with the latest products and information on Renewable materials design and installation, be that for application in industrial, commercial, or residential projects.

We hear a lot about this new and fast-developing industry, but rarely do you get an opportunity to be helped to understand what knowledge is required to enter the field, where to get it, and how it can be applied.

Most crucial for the entrant into this field, is that the programs directly address what one needs to know when transitioning to the Renewable Service Industry, and doing so in a concentrated and expedient way.”

Be sure to read further on the testimonial page for more feedback.  It is important to note that in the Solar Industry, everything is leaning toward specific standards and certification.  You can get all that you need at Boots on the Roof!  Also, you can check out the calendar of the 6-Day Solar PV Boot Camp for dates, prices and other courses offered along with a phone number to call.
