KnowHy Training

L5 Train-the-Trainer course in fuel cells and hydrogen fuel

Course overview:

KnowHy is an innovative, online, hands-on educational programme for technicians working with hydrogen and fuel cell systems. The course is designed for technical staff, teachers, tutors, and those delivering training to industry.

Course structure:

Online lectures via University of Birmingham online Learning Management System (CANVAS)
Online tutorials (synchronous) via Zoom meetings (2 hours per week)
One practical session (Hydrogen Fuel Cell Skills Training Lab) will be delivered at Birmingham Energy Innovation Centre (BEIC) in Tyseley Energy Park to complete the course

Course delivery:

The course delivery is divided into lectures, which are organised into thematic teaching units.
One Teaching Unit comprises what a student would be expected to cover in one day. The timing for online learning is more flexible, but these units should give the participants some orientation on how much time to spend on the material.
A Teaching Unit contains 3 to 6 lectures, and one or several quizzes that allow the students to check on their progress. All the above is implemented as a fully online supported course.
Weekly tutorials serve as the contact points between participants and lecturers and are delivered in real time (synchronous). We use Zoom meetings to take on board participant questions and queries, offer additional exercise material, and/or deepen key teaching subjects.

Course modules:

Fuel Cells Basics and Hydrogen Safety
Hydrogen generation and storage
Specialist Module Overview
Practical Training

Certification:

Participants who successfully complete the Technical Staff Training (Train the Trainer) will receive a completion certificate issued by the University of Birmingham.
