Course content

With pure EV, EVerything is different and you should upskill to take advantage of this growing segment of the market. This course has been developed to enable garages and workshops who specialise in Volkswagen Group vehicles (VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda) to gain EV specific product knowledge. 

You’ll get hands-on, practical time with an EV VW ID.3, using the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform. This technology runs through every vehicle in the brand.

You will also utilise ODIS and ELSA Pro throughout the course, for information and diagnostic services. We will establish the specialist tool set and workshop equipment required to perform diagnostics, service and repair to the MEB platform.

It’s important to have the knowledge and understand the base vehicle operation. Familiarity with the vehicle type will assist you in projecting your expertise and also in determining customer concerns.

Please note: To ensure course continuity, in some specific cases, a generic EV system (such as heat pump) may be used on the course where the VW Group option is not readily/easily available.

 

 

What you'll learn

  • Design, use, operation and features of the ID.3

 

  • Service and maintance operations

 

  • High voltage HVAC systems and electric vehicle heat pumps

 

  • A short session on ‘how to market your EV services to EV owners and fleet operators’.

    Repair operations for:

    • Charging
    • High voltage battery & battery control
    • Motor/generator
    • Inverter
    • Dc to dc converter
    • Climate control
    • Braking systems
    • Vehicle networks
    • Infotainment
    • Body systems

     

    Course requirements

    An EV level 3 qualification is a pre-requisit to attending this course (see our EV Level 3 course), to ensure your safety.

    Part of the course will involve live working with high voltages (an EV Level 4 requirement). The specialist EV4 level qualified course instructor will ensure all safety requirements are in place for these elements of the course.

    We would encourage garages ensure at least one team member is qualified to Level EV4 to enable live working with high voltages in your own workshop. This is necessary to be able to provide the wide range of repair operations required to be an EV specialist workshop.

    I have attended the VW EV Specialist course which I found it extremely interesting and quite fruitful in regard to specific and explicit knowledge gaining. It will sure help me in general on my EV garage work.

    A great course to learn about all the new systems and technologies being used on this new EV platform. Being a VAG specialist it definitely gives us a head start as we are starting to see these in for service already. Highly recommend this course.
