The future is electric!

AF Switchgear made a decision to install a Photovoltaic array a couple of years ago, therefore our very own Solar Farm and we are delighted with the results.

Our PV array is made up of hundreds of Polycrystalline panels, each rated at 260W covering our factory roofs. The DC power is converted to AC through 25kW inverters into a bespoke built Switchgear and Monitoring System.

In total we have generated over 275,000 kWh to date, contributing greatly to our power usage.

CPD Training

AF Switchgear recognise the importance of training and self-development throughout all walks of work life and is a proud member of the CPD Certification Service.

AF Switchgear can offer your electrical engineering or consultancy business a formal CPD seminar by one of our experts in subjects such as Forms of Separation for example.

What does CPD mean?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development.

Why do I need it?

CPD refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work beyond any initial training. It’s a record of what you

experience, learn and then apply.

CPD also ensures that you maintain and enhance the knowledge and skills you need to deliver

a professional service to your customers, clients and the community.

What are the CPD requirements?

All members must undertake a minimum of 20 hours CPD each calendar year

(January to December) of the 20 hours at least 10 hours must be a formal CPD format.

What are the benefits of CPD?

Allows you to fill gaps in your knowledge and skills to become more productive

and efficient. Builds confidence and credibility to stand out from the crowd. Helps you achieve your career goals.
