Their Hybrid/Electric Vehicle Repair Level 3 course is a three-day qualification held at RMI Academy sites in Southam and Runcorn. It is suitable for technicians who diagnose faults and carry out repair and replacements on hybrid and electric vehicles, qualified to a minimum of Level 3 in Vehicle Repair and Maintenance and/or equivalent. The course covers the technology associated with the present generation of hybrid, electric and alternative-fuelled vehicles, with a strong emphasis on safe working practices. Where candidates have attended an HEV Level 2 course within the last two years, a two-day Hybrid/Electric Level 3 conversion course is available. This revisits the Level 2 and carries straight onto the Level 3 element. For IGA member businesses, the course is currently available at a heavily subsidised rate of £250.

Other content covers how to lift an EV and what PPE to wear, as well as OE systems and online modules supporting IMI courses, such as the Hybrid Level 3 IMI programme. Commenting on the overall offering, Delphi Technologies Aftermarket Technical Services Manager Phil Mitchell said: “We recognised the increasingly urgent need for independent garages to have access to electric vehicle training a long time ago. The Delphi Technologies Academy and the introduction of online tutorials, such as the HV battery video, are part of our solution to help address the huge shortage in non-franchised garage personnel having the skills to work on electrified vehicles.” He added: “The virtual content of the Delphi Technologies Academy perfectly complements our practical EV training, allowing us to offer a sought-after ‘blended learning approach’, but also enables users to significantly expand their knowledge of EVs in general. With the technology being so fresh, the content is suitable for those who are just starting out on their career right through to those who have spent 30 years in the industry.” For more information, visit: https://academy.delphiautoparts.com/ Delphi: High voltage!
