What Our Students Have To Say About Us
I had a great experience at Lilovat they have taught me a lot that I did not know about Solar Installations and configuration, I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about solar Energy.
Thokgomo Makwela
The instructor made the course very enjoyable while still providing a lot of useful information. I really enjoyed taking this workshop and would recommend others to do so as well.
Bailey Engineer
I received good training from Lilovat and it was a mixture of practical and theory something which you might not get from other training institutions I can recommend anyone to go there for training
