This course is designed primarily for Auto Electricians and Mechanics who want to further their skills working on Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (H and EVs). A large component of the course is safety requirements working on high voltage DC batteries (defined as greater than 120 volts DC). The ten Units of Competency cover depower and repowering and repair, maintain, diagnose battery systems. Additional units cover air conditioning, motors and controllers.
The training will be delivered through a combination of technical/theoretical training, and workshop practical training where possible. The course covers the essential knowledge and skills required to meet industry requirements. The training is carried out over five days ‘face to face’, 2 days of Zoom theory class with 12 hours of pre-course work done online before the Zoom component.
