Course content
Hybrid and Electric Vehicle is a set to be a huge growth area with many motor manufacturers declaring that the end is nigh for traditional petrol and diesel engine vehicles. Hybrid and EVs may seem complicated and daunting and can cause confusion when trying to service, repair or diagnose a system fault. In addition to this, safe working practices must be adopted during routine service and repair, as well as when components are removed and refitted.
Our expertise of hybrid and EV is long and wide. We have been involved with the running hybrid and electric vehicles, in their diagnosis and repair (including advanced battery repairs) and training since the mid 2000’s. We currently have a hybrid/EV in our personal fleet. We also deliver train-the-trainer hybrid and electrical vehicle courses to training companies and technical colleges throughout the UK.
What you'll learn
- How hybrid and electric vehicles work
- Safe working of hybrid and electric vehicles
- Electric Vehicle service and repair
- How to use a suitable multimeter
- How to use a oscilloscope and a diagnostic scan tool (DTC’s and data streams)
- Remove and refit of high voltage components
- How to use a insulation tester
- Active working with specialist safety equipment
- Connecting alternative power supply
- Making an EV safe to work on (for service and repair operations)
IMI Accredited Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Courses
We have teamed up with the IMI in order to have this course accredited at Level 3. One of the reasons we have done this is in anticipation of proposed health and safety legislation and/or licencing for technicians who want to work with these vehicle systems. This course meets the National Occupation Standards at Level 2 and Level 3, and is formally assessed. Successful completion of the course and the assessment will lead to the award of a Level 3 Qualification in Hybrid and Electric Vehicle.
It is anticipated that Level 3 will the minimum requirement in the future. Best practice dictates that each technical staff member should be qualified to at least level 2 (service technician). Diagnostic technicians should be qualified to level 3 (for fault diagnosis and removal, test and refit of high voltage systems) and the senior technician/foreman should be qualified to level 4. There may duty of care implications or liabilities for business owners if adequate training for these systems isn’t provided for employees.
A GUIDE TO EV QUALIFICATION LEVELS
This electric vehicle course will take you through our unique approach to safe working, service and repair, remove and refit of high voltage components. Everything we cover on this course has a direct link to the practical aspect of service, repair and maintenance of hybrid and electric vehicles.
This course acts as a gateway to our 3 day diagnostic Hybrid and Electric Vehicle course (IMI Level 4).
