Frequently asked questions(FAQ)
What is the Renewables Career Academy (RECA)?
RECA is an EU-based, international online academy focused on professional, role-based training for the renewable energy sector. We design our courses around real industry roles and skills, so learners get practical, immediately useful knowledge rather than broad, generic content.
Are you only for EU-based learners?
No. While RECA is based in the EU, our focus is international. Our courses are delivered online and designed for professionals worldwide. We incorporate global best practices and diverse case studies so the content is relevant across different markets and regions.
What types of courses or bundles do you offer?
We offer course bundles that combine fundamental knowledge with role- or technology-specific content. For example, foundational modules (such as AI fundamentals, market basics or project lifecycles) can be combined with technology-focused content (e.g. wind, solar, grid, storage) or role-focused content (project engineer, analyst, asset manager, etc.).
Do I need a technical background to join?
Not always. Some courses are designed for technical profiles (engineers, analysts, data professionals), while others target non-technical professionals (project managers, commercial teams, policy, etc.). Each course description clearly states the recommended background and entry level.
Is there any personal support during or after the course?
Yes. RECA is built around the learner. We offer:
- Regular follow-up calls to review your progress, clarify questions and discuss how to apply your learning
- Opportunities to ask questions about real situations you face in your role
- Guidance on next steps for your development path
Our goal is not just to “deliver content” but to help you achieve tangible outcomes from your training.
How will RECA help my career?
Our programmes are designed to:
- Bridge specific knowledge gaps relevant to your current or target role
- Give you the language, tools and frameworks that hiring managers and leaders expect
- Demonstrate your commitment to professional development in renewables
- Help you perform better and take on more responsibility in your current position
We also provide guidance during follow-up calls on positioning your new skills within your career path.
How much do the courses cost?
Pricing varies by course and bundle, but our principle is clear:
High-value, focused training at accessible, reasonable prices.
We avoid premium pricing linked to long, generic programmes. Instead, we provide targeted learning experiences that respect your time and budget.
How do I enrol in a course?
You can enrol directly through our website by selecting your chosen course or bundle and completing the registration process. If you’re unsure which programme is the best fit, you can book a short discovery call with us, and we’ll help you choose.
In what language are the courses delivered?
Courses are primarily delivered in English, given our international audience. Language options or subtitles may be added as the academy grows; this will be indicated on each course page.
Can I combine different courses into a personalised learning path?
Yes. We encourage building a role-based or goal-based path. You can:
- Start with foundational modules
- Add technology- or role-specific courses
- Work with us to select the combination that best fits your current role or career target
Is enrolling with RECA risk-free?
Yes. We want you to feel fully confident in your decision. That’s why all RECA courses come with a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you decide within 7 days that the course isn’t right for you, just contact us and we’ll refund your enrolment fee (see refund policy).
What if the course or role-based path I need isn’t available yet?

Who is RECA for?
RECA is designed for:
- Professionals already working in the energy or infrastructure sectors
- People transitioning into renewables from other industries
- Engineers, analysts, project managers and technical specialists
- Team leaders and managers who need to understand new tools and methods
- Organisations that want structured, role-based training for their staff
If your work touches wind, solar, grids, storage or related areas, RECA is relevant for you.
What makes RECA’s courses different from other online training?
We focus on three things:
- Role-based design – Courses are built around specific roles and responsibilities, not just topics.
- Practical application – Content is developed by energy experts who have worked on real projects, with examples drawn from their experience.
- Focused scope – We deliberately avoid unnecessary theory or generic modules. Each course is designed to close specific knowledge gaps.
Are the courses self-paced or live?
Our core learning content is delivered online to accommodate busy professionals and international time zones. This can include:
- Self-paced video modules
- Downloadable resources and tools
- Live or recorded Q&A / follow-up sessions
The exact format may vary by course, but we always communicate this clearly before you enrol..
Who designs and delivers the training?
Our courses are developed and delivered by energy sector professionals with substantial real-world experience. They bring insights from working on projects, assets and teams in the renewable energy industry, rather than just teaching from textbooks.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. On successful completion of a course or bundle, you receive a digital certificate of completion from the Renewables Career Academy, which you can share with employers or on platforms like LinkedIn.
As the academy grows, we are working towards recognition from industry partners to further strengthen the value of our certificates.
Can RECA help if I’m transitioning into the renewable energy sector?
Yes. Many of our courses are designed to help professionals pivot into renewables from other sectors. We focus on helping you understand:
- How the renewable energy value chain works
- Where your existing skills fit
- Which additional competencies you need for specific roles
Are there discounts for teams or organisations?
Yes. We offer group and organisational packages where several learners follow a structured path aligned with a company’s needs. Contact us to discuss custom solutions for your team.
How long do I have access to the course materials?
Access duration depends on the specific course. Generally, you will have access for a defined period that allows you to complete the content comfortably and revisit key modules. We clearly state access duration in each course description.
What are the technical requirements to join?
You’ll need:
- A stable internet connection
- A computer or tablet capable of streaming video
- Standard office software (for viewing PDFs, spreadsheets or slides)
Any specific tools or software required for a given course will be clearly listed in the course description.
Do you work with companies, universities or industry bodies?
RECA aims to become the first internationally recognised academy dedicated to renewable energy training. To support this, we are actively fostering collaboration with industry partners, employers and sector organisations.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Absolutely. We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee from the date of your purchase. If you’re not satisfied with the course for any reason, let us know within 7 days and we’ll arrange a full refund—no hard feelings (see refund policy).
