Value Chain

We design and implement customer-specific programmes and services along the value chain in a holistic concept.

Our approach to Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) is manifold: technology related knowledge is the basis and then each RENAC training and service focus on technical, economic, legal or project related aspects according to the target group. RENAC is also very active in international business matchmaking and market development services.

In our capacity building services we supply a variety of programmes to train trainers, to build training centres and to establish quality assurance processes.  

Our Training Concept

Customer-Specific Programmes – what does it mean?

We offer customer-specific programmes according to client needs and participant job requirements in all green energy sectors. Based on an analysis of requested knowledge or specific job tasks and the level of existing knowledge, we develop a training concept proposal.

The concept includes recommendations for online or in-person trainings, or both. We develop the training concept taking the given resources on budget and learning time into account. After feedback from the client, we fine-tune the concept for approval.

Depending on the needs of our clients, we offer different levels of trainings (basic, intermediate, and advanced).
