Autotech Training reports surge in bookings for on-site EV training offering

Advertorial: As one of the only training providers to offer EV training on the premises of any garage or business across the UK, Autotech Training has witnessed a significant increase in demand for its on-site EV training over the last 12 months.

From garages wanting to upskill their vehicle technicians, to companies from other sectors including the emergency services, local authorities and fleet operators looking to equip their employees with an operational awareness of EVs as they switch their vehicles to electric and hybrid.

Autotech Training is certified to deliver IMI Levels 2-4 Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Training courses from its dedicated Electric Vehicle Training Suite located within its Milton Keynes headquarters, or at the site of any garage or business, it is this unique ability to roll out its EV training offering which is creating huge traction.

Autotech Training can work with the delegates to deliver IMI Levels 2 and 3 individually over the course of a day or deliver a blend of IMI Level 2 and Level 3 courses across two days, to be as flexible as possible with differing customer needs. Aided by the latest electric or hybrid vehicle, the training encompasses the individual requirements of each garage or business to ensure the level of training delivered directly meets their needs.

Collectively training employees from the same site ensures they receive standardised methods of working on electric/hybrid vehicles. In addition, booking training for a group also lowers the cost per delegate, and of course, there are no travel or hotel expenses incurred.

“As we know, there is a serious shortfall in the number of vehicle technicians sufficiently trained to service electric and hybrid vehicles,” comments Colin Gleghorn, Managing Director of Autotech Training. “Technicians need to be correctly trained to not only instil confidence within consumers, but to guarantee their safety. In fact, EVERY employee who comes into contact with an EV during their day to day duties requires training, enabling them to safely operate, and work alongside them.

Our on-site EV training was created to not only help the industry reduce the EV skills gap, but to minimise the impact on a business, and to standardise our offering to suit their exact needs.”

EV Training course prices start at £399+VAT and Autotech Training also offer an EV Training bundle which incorporates IMI Levels 2-4 for £1,299+VAT – making a saving of almost £300 per delegate when the courses are booked all at the same time. For further information visit autotechtraining.co.uk
