Keilir Institute of Technology - Energy Engineering Sciences and Technology

Welcome to the Keilir Institute of Technology, or KIT. KIT is an independent educational organization, positioned at the center of a unique technology park located at Ásbrú Enterprise Park - the site of the former US Naval Air Station in Keflavik Iceland. The park brings together an international university level program, leading businesses and start-ups in close vicinity to Keflavik International Airport.

The mission of KIT is to advance energy engineering sciences in Iceland and to educate and train young men and women in the field of energy engineering sciences and technology. The goal is to generate new knowledge and produce highly trained professionals for the energy and technology industry.

KIT operates both the School of Energy and Technology and state-of-the-art research laboratories in applied energy engineering. The laboratories are located in the same building as the school and are used for teaching, training, research and development. An energy resource park that is presently under development will provide additional facilities for tight collaboration between the energy industries (geothermal and other) and the School of Energy and Technology, thus bringing together academia and the energy industry.

Geothermal Power Plant Technician 

The Geothermal Power Plant Technician Program — offered by Keilir Institute of Technology — is a two year program designed to address the growing need for skilled geothermal power plant technicians. During the first year students receive vocational training in running and maintaining geothermal power plants. The hands-on training is provided in state-of-the-art geothermal power plants. The second year is more academic as the students learn methods and techniques for planning daily operations, maintenance and purchasing equipment/spare parts.
