Course content

EV will shake the foundation of automotive technicians (and garage owners) knowledge. These things are radically different. Service, repair, diagnostics, operation, maintenance – all different.

Here’s a quick review of why.

Like for a petrol or a diesel vehicle no-start, you’ll have a ‘go-to’ top 10 PID (live data parameter) list to give you diagnostic direction. Name your top 10 Hybrid and EV PIDs to solve a lack of traction motor operation.

If that’s a little too difficult, how about diagnosing a lack of mains charge to the HV battery. Assume the wall outlet is OK, where next? What are the signals you should expect?

OK, how about a really easy one – your customer complains that the Hybrid Vehicle is suffering from a jerky drive mode. What and how are you going to test to diagnose the root cause?

These are all things you’ll need to know. Everything is different with EV. If you want to be able to answer these (and many, many more relevant questions) consider coming on this Electric Vehicle training course. It will help you build a future for yourself.

What you'll learn

  • Live system working (component analysis during operation)

  • Safe working practices

  • Diagnostic Strategies

  • Fault finding procedures

  • Roadtest techniques, serial data logging and serial data analysis

  • Manufacturers Scan tools and information/diagnostic systems.

 

  • Diagnosis of a wide range of vehicle faults including:
    • Motor Generators (Voltage and current analysis)
    • Inverter
    • Resolver
    • Mains Charging
    • On-board Chargers
    • Battery Health
    • Battery Balancing
    • Battery Cell R&R
    • High Voltage ananlysis (differential probes)

IMI Accredited

This unique course is the most advanced Electric Vehicle training course available. We are of a few training organisations worldwide that offer certified training at this level.

Run in our high quality, bespoke skills centre, this course takes a deep dive into Hybrid and EV control systems including fault and symptom analysis,  data stream familarity, diagnostic routines, comprehensive component test (including charging cables, on-board chargers. Inverter, resolver and motor test and measurement) and much more.

Successful completion (via formal assessment) leads to the highest level of nationally recognised qualification.

We have teamed up with the IMI in order to have this Electric Vehicle training course accredited at Level 4. But we go deeper, delving into the specifics of real-world fault finding. This course exceeds the National Occupation Standards. 

This course requires that participants are in possession of a IMI Level 3 Hybrid/EV Qualification.

A GUIDE TO EV QUALIFICATION LEVELS

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 master technician should be qualified to level 4. There may duty of care implications  or liabilities for business owners if adequate Electric Vehicle training isn’t provided for employees.

Testimonials

Great course and the right balance of system understanding and real time measurements. Wilf very knowledgeable on the subject area and with a very high technical knowledge!

Anthony Kitching

Wilf was a great instructor that always gave a confident answer to even the trickiest questions. Thanks

Andrew burton

Another amazing experience with Technical Topics! I used to be scared of working on EV’s – Not the case anymore. Highly detailed course and all my questions answered got me EV READY ! THANK YOU!

Michal betyna

My first time training here,
Great course with helpful and resourceful trainers.
Was happy to chat with and discuss the next steps in future training.

Dylan

Always a great experience at TTHQ. The knowledge that is available to tap into is extremely deep.

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.

Ian Whitmore

It was an excellent course which provides a comprehensive idea about VW EV platform
Thanks for the trainer and for all Techtopics team

AMEEN AL-KISWANI

Excellent course with detailed information relating to the VW ID3 Electric Vehicle MEB platform. Rob the tutor was really good in delivering the course and had excellent subject knowledge. Thanks for looking after us for the whole 3 days and also providing lunch, which was excellent.

Paul Griffith

Thank you all so much for a well put together course. Your knowledge is second to none, your training aids were great and I learnt so much.
Kind regards
