Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) Safety Training

This course will equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to safely depower and reinitialise both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). They will learn to ensure that the vehicle's high-voltage (HV) rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) is isolated before conducting any service or repair. Additionally, the course covers calibrating vehicle systems that may need resetting after reinitialising the energy storage system. This course places a strong emphasis on applying RESS and Separated Extra Low Voltage (SELV) safety procedures.

This course is suitable for automotive professionals with basic electrical knowledge, looking to upskill in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) service and repair.

• This program allows participants to access the manufacturer's manuals through AASRA. BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz & Volvo do not allow access to any information without a SAFETY UPGRADE.
• Examiners who wish to be authorised to examine and test electric vehicles under the new EV category will need to have successfully completed the prerequisite training. AURETH101 Depower and reinitialise battery electric vehicles or AURETH011 Depower and reinitialise hybrid electric vehicles before they are eligible to enrol in the EV LVT accreditation training.
