The course instructor had entered and passed a relevant training on The Expanded Program to Support Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy for the Office of Vocational Education Commission. As results, the percentage of total average score of efficiency from the module test was 82.35/83.53, which was higher than the specified criteria set at 80/80. When comparing the mean achievement of the students, there was significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores.
