October is here and it’s currently sunny and 79 degrees here in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (perfect for a solar install).  Before we know it, 2012 will be here and we are looking forward to all that it has to offer.

We are about to wrap up our last week of the Accelerated Diploma Program, which is 3 weeks of back-to-back classes. The program has been so successful that we’ve added it to our 2012 schedule (in January, April, July, & October)!

After this week, we only have 2 classes remaining in 2011:

  • PV-201: November 28 – December 2
  • PV-301: December 12 – December 16

We’re also going to be wrapping up the year with a major installation in Grand Cayman. After a much needed break, we’re diving back in with our first round of the Accelerated Diploma Program in January (we are currently reserving seats for this popular program) and more classes. Check out our preliminary schedule for 2012 below:
