HEV and EV Electric 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 vehicle 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 reinitializing 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.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to these units at the time of publication.
