Learn how to safely work with and work around electric vehicles through hands-on exercises. Training classes take place on campus, where trainees will get to work on a fully operational electric vehicle and training simulators.
First responders, municipal vehicle fleet technicians, and any similar jobs will likely need enhanced knowledge of alternative energy vehicles. Trainees come away with basic operational and safety knowledge, and they can take a deeper dive into the subject of servicing and repairing alternative energy vehicles.
