Salt Lake Community College issues a Certificate of Achievement at the completion of the appropriate courses - WTRE 0100 and 0200 for the Solar Sales Certificate. WTRE 0100, 0200 and 0300 for the Solar PV Installation program. These courses are non-credit and do not lead to a degree.
WTRE 0100 is a required course for students completing their Energy Management A.A.S. degree program, designated as EGMT 1700. WTRE 0200 and WTRE 0300 (EGMT 1710 and 1720 respectively) are technical electives for students enrolled in the EGMT degree program.
At the completion of the Solar Photovoltaic program at SLCC, including all three courses, students will have surpassed the minimum number of education hours required to take any of the Exams, specifically the PV Technical Sales and their highest certification, PV Installation Professional.
NABCEP now offers many other certifications. They include PV Associate, PV Installer Specialist and PV Design Specialist. These are not the same as being a Certified installer, but it says to a potential employer that you're getting into the industry and have learned enough to pass a still rigorous exam.
You can find additional details about each of these on the NABCEP website.
