Photovoltaic Systems Installation & Repair Technician
Certificate Program
PS11
Program Description
Due to the growing demand for clean sources of energy, the sun has become a hot commodity.
Solar Photovoltaics, also known as Solar PV, is the field of technology and research related to the
application of solar cells for energy by converting sunlight directly into electricity. For those who
wish to become professionally trained in the design and installation of PV systems, this technical
certificate of credit program provides that training. Graduates will have the opportunity to enter the
workforce as technicians specializing in electrical applications of installation, inspection, and repair
of solar panels in the electrical construction industry.
The demand for qualified technicians to install and maintain solar PV systems and other components
of this rapidly evolving green technology is expected to continue to expand to account for 11 percent
of global electricity production and the creation of 6.3 million jobs by 2030. Use of solar technology
and the demand to increase use of the sun for energy is a hot topic, as is the desire to move the
US up on that list. The available training is few and far between and even more scarce in Georgia.
Gwinnett Tech specializes in meeting the needs of our community through credit and continuing
education offerings; green technology is no exception. This certificate will provide the county and
surrounding areas with expert training and knowledge in the installation and inspection of photovoltaic
systems. As the industry continues to grow, the demand for technicians will continue to increase as
well. Certain portions of this training have already been incorporated in to our existing Electrical
Construction and HVAC programs, therefore the necessary equipment and trained personnel exists
already to begin specialized training in this field. With the addition of only one course (ELTR 1525),
GTC can award this certificate to numerous students. (Program Length: 2 Semesters Minimum)
Students applying for this program must be accepted into the air conditioning degree,
diploma or electrical systems technology diploma and add this certificate as a second major.
Students can apply to graduate from certificates when classes required are completed.

BIOSCIENCE PROGRAMS
Bioscience Technology
BT13
Program Description
The bioscience technology degree prepares graduates to perform a number of biotechnologyrelated careers, including laboratory research, and skills to work in sophisticated biotechnology
manufacturing settings. Bioscience encompasses many critical areas of research on living organisms
including development of drugs and medical devices, criminal forensics, environmental science,
and agricultural biotechnology. This program focuses principally on advanced biochemistry and
biotechnology laboratory skills, such as analytical DNA, RNA, and protein techniques, cell culture,
and microbiology. Our educational approach emphasizes critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
Prior to admission into the bioscience technology associate of applied science degree program,
students must successfully complete the following courses with a cumulative grade-point-average
of at least 2.5 in these courses: ENGL 1101, MATH 1111, BIOL 1111, BIOL 1111L, BSCI 1111,
BSCI 1211, BIOL 2117, BIOL 2117L, FYES 1000, CHEM 1211 and CHEM 1211L. Length of time to
complete prerequisites varies depending on applicant’s transfer credit and/or testing results. It is the
student’s responsibility to notify the admissions office once pre-requisites have been completed. File
completion does not guarantee program acceptance. (Program Length: 4 semesters plus required

Cardiovascular Technology
CT13
Program Description
The cardiovascular technology program is a sequence of courses that provide educational
opportunities to individuals in didactic and clinical environments that will enable them to obtain skills,
knowledge and attitudes necessary to graduate and become successful entry-level cardiovascular
technologist specializing in Invasive cardiac catheterization or non-invasive echocardiography.
Cardiovascular technology is a health technology profession centered on the evaluation, diagnosis
and treatment of patients with cardiac diseases. A cardiovascular technologist performs examinations
at the request or under direct supervision of a physician, is proficient in the use of analytical equipment,
and provides a foundation of data from which a correct anatomic and physiologic diagnosis may
be made. Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the Cardiovascular Credentialing
International (CCI) registry exam, in their chosen specialty. This program is only offered full-time,
during the day. (Program Length: 5 Semesters plus required core prerequisites)
The Gwinnett Technical College Cardiovascular Technology program is accredited by the Commission
on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation
of the Accreditation Review Committee on Education in Cardiovascular Technology.

Program Description
The diagnostic medical sonography associate degree program is a sequence of courses that
provides educational opportunities to individuals in didactic and clinical environments that will enable
them to gain skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to graduate and become successful entrylevel employees in the field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. The profession requires critical
thinking skills, judgment, and the ability to provide appropriate health care services. Sonographers
use high frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual pictures of internal body structures. The
images are evaluated by physicians to make a medical diagnosis. Course work includes sonographic
physics, sonographic identification of normal and abnormal anatomy, physiology, pathology, and
pathophysiology of the abdomen, pelvis, and small parts of the adult, pediatric, and fetal patient,
clinical application courses, interventional sonography, journal and case study review, and
comprehensive registry reviews. In order to begin the clinical requirements, students must complete
tuberculosis skin test, supply proof of immunization, undergo a background check, and submit to a
drug screen test. . Program graduates receive an Associate of Applied Science Degree with a major
