Academia Rolear Launches New Training Courses
May 11, 2026, 6:45 p.m.Academia Rolear introduces new training programmes designed to enhance technical expertise and improve safety in electrical installations.
The reliability of electrical installations and their ability to withstand disturbances in the grid depend not only on the quality of the equipment, but also on the competence of those who design, install and operate them. Academia Rolear is launching two structured training courses designed to meet the needs of the professional market and raise the standards of safety and technical compliance in projects and asset operation. The new courses,“Electric Vehicle Charging – Installation and Technical Standards” and“Safety in Electrical Work (e-learning)”, are aimed at installers, designers, operation technicians and maintenance managers seeking practical, up-to-date technical knowledge.
Electric Mobility and Technical Standards: A Challenge for the Industry
Electric mobility is one of the fastest-growing segments of Portugal’s electrical infrastructure sector, requiring specialised expertise beyond conventional electrical installations. The“Electric Vehicle Charging – Installation and Technical Standards” course focuses on providing the technical skills needed to implement safe and resilient charging systems.
This course covers the current technical standards and regulations governing low-voltage electrical installations, while exploring charging modes, socket and connector types, and protection systems against overcurrents and overvoltages. Particular attention is given to circuit sizing and load management, both essential to preventing local grid instability and ensuring the long-term performance of equipment. For designers and installers, this training provides a significant competitive advantage, enabling them to deliver solutions that fully comply with legislation while ensuring end-user safety. The resilience of charging infrastructure depends on the quality of its installation, and this course provides the technical expertise required to prevent overheating, insulation failures and electrical network imbalances within buildings.
Electrical Safety as a Pillar of Resilience
Safety is the first requirement of any resilient system. The new“Safety in Electrical Work” course, available in an e-learning format, has been developed to address the critical need to prevent occupational risks in electrical environments. The training focuses on essential safety procedures for professionals working in low-, medium- and high-voltage installations.
The course content covers risk assessment, safety distances, the use of personal and collective protective equipment, and intervention protocols in the event of an accident. Through the e-learning format, Academia Rolear provides flexible access to this knowledge without compromising technical rigour. For professionals, the benefits are twofold: a significant reduction in accident risks and increased confidence when carrying out maintenance and network operation tasks. A professional who understands electrical risks and preventive measures is key to ensuring a safer and more reliable electrical network, less prone to failures caused by human error.
Training as a Benefit for the Professional Ecosystem
For installers, designers and engineers, these courses translate into greater technical autonomy, fewer errors and improved project predictability. Mastery of safety procedures and technical standards enhances the quality of proposals while improving communication with inspectors and regulatory entities.
For individual professionals, the training strengthens technical authority and increases the value of their service portfolio in an increasingly competitive and regulated market. For companies, investing in team qualification leads to greater productivity, reduced costs associated with rework or corrective maintenance, and, above all, improved safety for people and assets. Specialisation in electrical safety and charging infrastructure enables professionals to anticipate customer needs and provide technical consultancy that adds real value to projects. By mastering technical standards, professionals reduce the risk of legal and technical non-compliance, ensuring that electrical network resilience begins with rigorous design and execution.
Certified Training Backed by the Academia Rolear Quality Seal
Established with the goal of raising competency standards within the technical sector, Academia Rolear has been a DGERT-certified training provider since 2013. Over the past decade, it has become a recognised benchmark for professional skills development, particularly in areas characterised by rapid technological evolution. Its greatest strength lies in delivering training designed by specialists for specialists, supported by practical training facilities and methodologies that encourage continuous learning. Certification ensures that every course meets high pedagogical and technical standards, providing professionals and organisations with officially recognised competencies that comply with market and regulatory requirements.
Built on the Expertise of Grupo Rolear
Academia Rolear’s authority in the technical training market is closely linked to the strength and experience of Grupo Rolear. With more than 45 years of activity, the Group has established itself as a specialist in areas such as electrical engineering, HVAC, infrastructure and renewable energy. This extensive field experience provides a deep understanding of the real challenges faced by industry professionals. The combination of technical equipment distribution and the execution of complex projects gives the Group a practical and up-to-date perspective that is directly transferred to the Academy’s training programmes.
This synergy between industrial know-how and technical education ensures that training is not merely theoretical, but instead delivers immediately applicable solutions for addressing critical safety and efficiency challenges. In an industry where technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, stagnation represents the greatest risk to network safety. Remaining true to its motto,“There are things that cannot stop”, Grupo Rolear recognises that service continuity and network stability depend on the expertise of those who work with them. Academia Rolear therefore continues its commitment to innovation in professional training, equipping the national market with the knowledge required to keep pace with best practices in engineering and safety. By choosing Academia Rolear, electrical sector professionals are not simply enrolling in a course—they are joining an ecosystem of knowledge built on technical precision and a commitment to excellence.

Conversations with the HVAC Sector
Jan. 16, 2026, 12:49 p.m.APIRAC (the Portuguese Association of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry) promoted, in late 2025 and early 2026, a cycle of regional meetings aimed at discussing the HVAC sector with companies and professionals working in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
The meetings took place in Lisbon, Porto and Faro, creating valuable opportunities for dialogue on key structural topics for the future of the sector, including training, waste management, environmental responsibility and the regulatory framework.
At the Faro session, held on 16 January, the panel of speakers included Sílvia Rosa, Product Manager for Air Conditioning and Ventilation at Rolear Mais, who highlighted the role of distribution in supporting installer clients and acting as a link between the market and manufacturers.
APIRAC’s initiative also included an open debate among participants, addressing practical issues that directly impact air conditioning installation activities. Through these “Conversations with the Sector”, the association aims to identify shared challenges, with a view to supporting a more sustainable, technically robust and properly regulated transition for the HVAC sector.
