Understand how electric vehicle systems fit together and learn the controlled practices needed around them. Progress from architecture and hazard awareness to assessed, supervised tasks appropriate to your competence.
Experienced ICE mechanics enter through the 6-month conversion route after the practical entry test. Developing mechanics and novices build the required ICE and electrical foundations through the 12 or 24-month route first. Awareness lessons alone do not authorise anyone to service high-voltage systems.
Trace a system architecture, interpret a battery/BMS dataset, identify the task boundary, demonstrate prerequisite low-voltage competence, follow the approved supervised practical gate and record component and interface inspections.
Individual observation, questions, protected-rig faults and a signed skills record.
Interpret charging and battery-condition data on a supported rig or vehicle, then decide which further checks belong to the authorised technician and which need specialist escalation. No online assignment ever asks for high-voltage testing at home.
Taught inside the common 660-hour conversion stage — the whole 6-month route and the final stage of the 12 and 24-month routes — with supporting electrical units earlier in the longer routes. This page and the retrofit page share that stage; they don’t add up to 1,320 hours.
No live cell fabrication, live pack repair, safety-interlock bypass or independent high-voltage authorisation is offered. External EV awards (such as IMI) are separate arrangements and are not included by association.
Your route follows your starting point and includes this subject. Free screening confirms which route is right for you.
One tuition fee per route, paid in instalments. See the fee schedule · Successful learners receive the DMECH completion certificate for their route and an assessed skills transcript. Any external qualification will be identified separately in the course offer, including its awarding body, eligibility, assessment and fees.
Supervised EV support and conversion-team work. Employer task authorisation and platform-specific development follow your demonstrated scope.
