Digital Training Manager Guy Stewart is working on new videos all the time – so why not take a look and see what’s new?

Even if you’ve watched some of these easy-to-follow videos before, a refresher might offer that elusive solution you’ve been looking for!

Training Video Library

At the time of writing there are 19 videos in the Training Library available in seven languages. On land or sea; isolated or connected to the grid, generator back-up or remote stand-alone, large or small, three-phase, parallel, daisy chained, cross-manufacture installation – you’ll find a solution for every circumstance.

The videos, and any presentation slides used in them, can be downloaded for later viewing. Each video is followed by a test. Completion certificates can be downloaded after achieving successful test results.

Here’s a round-up of what to expect from each of them. You will need to be signed in to your Victron Professional account to follow these links to the desired content.

The series begins with MultiPlus Inverter/Chargers as power conversion lies at the heart of everything we do.
