What is CENIFER?

Training Centre for Renewable Energies promoted by the Government of Navarra to meet training requirements within the field of clean energy and    Guarantee the availability of trained technicians to be employed by renewable energy companies Re-train technicians who are already working in this sector.Contribute, along with other initiatives, to Navarre's leadership in Renewable Energies.

Vision

“to be a European reference's organization in technical training

solutions in the field of Renewable Energies”.

     

Sponsors

The Government of Navarre has provided backing for the creation of this Centre.Education and Industry, Technology, Commerce and Work Departments, both, are involved in managing the Centre. Spanish Government has provided funding for infrastructures and annual training plans at a national level.
