Theoretical training covers the main components and assemblies of vehicles: from the engine and transmission to steering and braking systems. The emphasis is on studying both traditional and advanced engineering solutions that meet modern European requirements.
The educational process is organized into two content modules, including lectures, laboratory work, and independent work of students. Considerable attention is paid to practical aspects - laboratory and practical classes allow not only to consolidate theoretical knowledge, but also to form primary professional skills, for example, in the selection of systems or vehicle components for specific operating conditions.

Reskilling Ukraine does not employ graduates of the programs. However, we introduce participants to various employers who are looking for female drivers to join their teams, which makes it easier to find a job after obtaining a category C driver's license. In addition, we send out a weekly newsletter of current vacancies of our employer partners to ensure that all the most relevant opportunities are available to the program graduates.
No, there is no such requirement for candidates for the Solar Power Plant Installer course.
