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 engined vehicles. Hybrids and electric vehicle 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 on hybrid and electrical vehicle 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

    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.

    This 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 advanced EV and Hybrid diagnostics course (IMI Level 4).

    Dec Roberts

    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.

    CHRISTOS KOURTELLARIS

    If you want to do EV training, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The workshop has options of hybrid and EV cars. As well as off car components and test equipment to let you get plenty of hands on training. Plus it has classrooms to understand theory. Tech topics doesn’t only teach us, they are diagnosing customers cars with real problems. I have seen teachers from colleges coming hear to learn the subject. This is the ideal course to get a very good understanding on hybrid or EV cars. Can’t recommend it enough.

    Matt Brereton

    From the enrolment to the e-learning and the assement, TT have always gone the extra mile. For a slightly more mature gentleman, they were patient and explained everything in clear terms. The facilities are really excellent and the knowledge of James and Wilf is second to none. Great value. Hoping to be back very soon

    Anthony Kitching

    Really helpful to see the equipment you wouldn’t normally come across on an ev and its operation

    Andrew Rees

    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.
