About Us

METAC Training is the largest energy training and assessment centre in Ireland and trains approximately 3,500 people annually. Our realistic training facilities equip people with practical skills for the modern workforce that are nationally recognised by SOLAS, QQI, City & Guilds, BLUEflame Certification, Bord Gais and OFTEC, amongst others. All courses we run are independently certified and verified by external agencies.

In September 2010, we invested and installed a 16 metre 6KW wind turbine and accompanying Photovoltaic systems at our centre which was supported and grant aided by Laois Partnership Ltd. making us the first and only training centre to do so. This facility now allows us to expand our renewable energy training to incorporate wind training.

On completion of our courses all participants are equipped with practical skills that are nationally recognised by SOLAS, Bord Gais, City & Guilds and OFTEC.
