Battery and Hybrid Electrical Vehicle Course Info

With the popularity, availability and uptake of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) increasing, demand for repair and maintenance work is also expected to rise - yet many apprentice mechanics and qualified technicians may not have suitable training or experience working with these systems. When working with high voltage systems, one wrong move can lead to serious injury or worse. It is therefore critical that the necessary training be undertaken before interacting with a BEV/HEV power source.

Our industry-leading courses upskill automotive apprentices and technicians with the necessary knowledge to safely and effectively work on these high-voltage systems.

Choose from our two courses below.

Electric Vehicle Skill Sets (5-Day Course)

Here's what our recent learners had to say about the 5-day course!

Great all round
"Great quality facility, highly knowledgeable and approachable trainer, great selection of modern vehicles to use for practical tasks. I strongly appreciated the digitally delivered knowledge test as it basically eliminated the difficulty of completing a handwritten test. "

Highly recommend
"Matthew's knowledge on the subject is impressive, the way he has presented the training was easy to understand and explained in multiple ways - giving a better opportunity to understand the topic and gain confidence to bring back to the workplace. I would highly recommend this course given how it has been delivered across the 5 days."

You should do the course
"The training course was very detailed, and the trainer was very informative."

Well done
"Great resources, great trainer... Demonstrated a deep understanding of EV technology and operation including high level diagnostics."

I will return for future training

"Matthew has completely changed my opinion towards MTA WA and through his exceptional ability to connect to his student and relay information. I feel confident in not only the training provided but also in my overall ability in this trade. Matthew is a confident and capable lecturer. He has a broad field of knowledge and shows a passion towards what he is teaching. I would be more than happy and confident to return to MTA WA Balcatta for any future training because of my experience over the last 5 days with Matthew. His flexibility as a teacher makes me feel confident in knowing I am 'site ready.'

Suited my style of learning
"A well-paced course with a good amount of practical workshop time."
