The Electric Vehicle (EV) Technician training program addresses a global need for people who are skilled in diagnosing, servicing, and repairing high voltage EVs, and commercial charging stations.

You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of electrical vehicle circuits through a blend of theoretical and hands-on instruction. Our multimedia learning resources and cutting-edge electrical/electronics simulation software (CircuitLogix Pro) enable you to test, validate, and understand the complexities of circuits commonly found in EVs.

This program is highly beneficial to Automotive Service Technicians who have a strong background in internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles, but lack the skills in power electronics and data communication systems to safely perform service-related work on EVs and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). This program is also relevant to electricians who will be installing, servicing, and maintaining residential and commercial EV charging stations.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: This online distance program is only available to study while remaining in your home country and does not qualify for study/work permit eligibility in Canada.
 

The program has been developed for adult learners pursuing training through independent study, specifically students interested in improving their technical knowledge to diagnose, service and repair high voltage EVs and install, design and maintain residential or commercial charging stations.. No background in Auto mechanics or electronics is required and there are no post-secondary academic prerequisites, so anyone can get training in this rapidly-growing industry. 

One of the main features of the program is the integration of theory with laboratory experiments and projects. The EV program consists of 14 modules of interactive curriculum using state-of-the-art simulation software with virtual lab/shop experiments, combined with videos, animations and real-world practical examples to reinforce the fundamental concepts of EV technology. Students who enroll in the program receive a licensed copy of CircuitLogix, which includes both 2D- and 3D-simulation. The average completion time of the fourteen training modules is thirty-two weeks of part-time study.


ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The academic prerequisites for students entering into the Electric Vehicle Technician program is a high school diploma, with credits at or above the general level or equivalent mature student status. A background in electronics, electrical, or internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles is helpful but not necessary.

If you are 19 years or older and do not have a high school diploma, you may enrol as a mature student.
