EV Level 1 Electrical/Hybrid Vehicle Awareness Training

$649

with Dirk Fuchs

Calendar Mar 1, 2025 at 8 am

LOCATION: 4105 Royal Dr NW suite 600, Kennesaw, GA 30144

(9:00AM-4:00PM EST)

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Statement of Work (“SOW”) is to outline the work, responsibilities, and deliverables required by each of the Parties to deliver an Automotive High Voltage Certification Training Level 1 accredited by IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry) for SSF

• EV & Hybrid Awareness Training

• Safety and PPE Awareness

• Theoretical Assessment

SCOPE

The Automotive Certified Training Academy (ACTA) will deliver the aforementioned items as part of the program; utilizing the current capabilities and processes with plans to augment future offerings with additional resources, locations, and processes to improve throughput, efficiency, and student convenience.This course is built for shop owners, Service writes and Technician to understand Hybrid and electric Vehicle technology. The students will learn about the needed PPE, tools and equipment to work on electric and hybrid vehicles. The course will be taught under the guidelines of European regulation, and the student receives after successfully passing a theoretical exam a Level 1 Certificate. The instructor will share a lot of real-life experience and will dive into system, diagnostic and High Voltage System repair. The Battery design and architecture will be covered in depth in this course. The class will inform the students of US regulations and recommendations like OSHA, NFPA and SAE to prepare every shop for Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technologies.

By participating in this course, you'll be able to:

  • Describe the various xEV’s subsystems and components
  • Explain the High and Low Voltage Architecture
  • Utilize appropriate processes and PPE tools when disabling/connecting EV
  • Safely measure HV vehicle platforms
  • Explain potential equalization in their importance
  • Explain OSHA PPE requirements
  • Describe interlock system types, schematic high and low voltage circuits, failure modes, diagnostics, and standardization
  • Understand all steps to safely disconnect a high Voltage system
  • Explain the verification of zero potential
  • Explain passive and active discharge
  • Understand the architecture of a high Voltage Battery
  • Understand Cell Balancing and needed tools to exchange Battery modules
  • Describe 48Volt Hybrid system
  • Understand 12Volt Lithium Ion Batteries in the Automotive Industry

ACTA Instructors

• ACTA Instructors are trained and certified under European Regulation ECE-R100.

• All new Instructors will be educated under the following 3 step process:o Step 1 - Mandatory participation in student class and passing score on the exam.o Step 2 - Observation of Certification Training program and supervised instructional delivery during the courseo Step 3 - Facilitation of a full Certification Training Program under the supervision and guidance of a trained High Voltage Instructor

General

• The programs will be delivered in English (interpreters can be available upon request at an additional cost to SSF)

• SSF will be responsible for registering technicians and permitting access to the training facility.

• SSF will provide an Electric Vehicle, at no cost to ACTA, for the duration of the certification training to educate students on the integrity of the High Voltage system as well as diagnostic methods.

• Travel cost for trainer to SSF to conduct the Certification Training is included in the pricing

Calendar May 17, 2025 at 8 am

LOCATION: 4105 Royal Dr NW suite 600, Kennesaw, GA 30144

TIME: 8:00AM - 5:00PM (EST)

***Attendees may not be accepted if course reaches capacity. Refunds will be issued for courses that are canceled due to low enrollment. (Travel reimbursements are excluded)

Now days it seems all the focus is all about fuel economy, future technology, the new and improved ways to drive our vehicle forward, and the environmental impacts. These are all great topics and very important to the automotive industry today. Let’s not forget though, something has to still bring all these great leaps forward to a stop. Gone are also the days of the hydraulicly operated steering racks. Today’s modern cars are switching to the electrically assisted steering systems and the wonderful advantages it offers compared to the vehicles of old. With all the modern safety and driver assist functions integrated it today’s vehicles, electronic steering is playing a major role. In this class we will examine the electronic braking & steering systems in todays modern vehicles and what the future holds for tomorrow’s technicians. Time: 8 Hours After completing this training, the participant will be able to:

• Describe the power steering system operations.

• Cover the advantages of EPS vs hydraulic steering systems.

• Explain common issues associated with EPS systems and diagnostics.

• Describe how EPS relates to other vehicle systems.

• Describe braking technology.

• Diagnose ABS errors.

• Identify noise issues.

• Explain electrical park brake systems.

• Describe proper mechanical release of electrical brake system.

• Describe collaboration between brakes and diver assist function.

• Diagnose brake systems and errors.

• List braking components and their functions.

• Explain assistance-based emergency braking.

• Describe common brake pads installation errors.

• Identify causes for premature damage.

• Understanding the consequences of a worn-out rotor.
