Electric Vehicle (EV) Technician Program (T951)
Program Description
Program Overview
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.
Full Description
The 32-week Electric Vehicle (EV) Technician certificate program is structured into 14 modules, each containing around 10 major topics. Delivered in an asynchronous “on demand” format, this setup allows you to start and finish modules at your own pace.
A key feature of the program is the integration of theory and hands-on learning. Comprising 14 modules, our curriculum includes 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. As a student in the program, you'll receive a licensed copy of CircuitLogix, which incorporates both 2D- and 3D-simulation.
While the typical program duration is around 32 weeks, there are no fixed schedules for completion. This flexibility allows you to progress through the course content at your own pace. Each module concludes with an online final exam.

Program Description
Program Overview
The Electric Vehicle (EV) Technician training program is intended to address a global need for people who are skilled in diagnosing, servicing and repairing high voltage EVs and commercial charging stations.
Students in the EV Technician program receive both theoretical and laboratory instruction through a combination of multimedia learning resources and an electrical/electronics simulation software package (CircuitLogix Pro) to allow for the testing, validation, and understanding of electrical and electronic circuits that are found in a typical EV.
The program will also be highly beneficial to Automotive Service Technicians who have a strong background in internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles, but who lack the knowledge and skills in power electronics and data communication systems to safely perform service-related work on EVs and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). Additionally, this program is 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.
Full Description
The Electric Vehicle (EV) Technician certificate program is divided into 14 courses, or modules, each consisting of about 10 sections, or major topics. The program is delivered in an asynchronous “on demand” format, which allows you to start and finish modules at your own pace.
