About the Course:

This Global Safety Standards for EVs microcredential provides a comprehensive introduction to safety standards and protocols in Electric Vehicle Technician workshops and systems. Students will explore international regulations, crash safety requirements, and the roles of active and passive safety features in EVs. The course also covers critical components such as battery management, sensor systems in EV charging stations, scheduled maintenance, and high-voltage (HV) troubleshooting procedures. Learners will develop the foundational knowledge and practical awareness needed to work safely and effectively in the EV industry.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand global safety regulations and workshop standards related to EVs, including crash tests and battery safety requirements.
  • Differentiate between active and passive safety systems in modern electric vehicles.
  • Identify and explain common EV safety features, such as collision avoidance, thermal monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.
  • Compare the function and role of a Battery Disconnect Unit (BDU) and a Battery Management System (BMS).
  • Recognize five key types of sensors used in EV charging stations.
  • Describe a typical electric vehicle maintenance schedule and its unique considerations.
  • Understand the difference between Parameter IDs (PIDs) and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in vehicle diagnostics.
  • Apply safe procedures and best practices for troubleshooting high-voltage systems in EVs.
