Join us for an entire week of hands-on training at our Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Boot Camp. Learn how to service, diagnose, and repair hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and battery-electric vehicles (BEV). High voltage Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is demonstrated and used in this class during hands-on exercises. Vehicles used in class: Tesla Model S, Chevrolet Bolt EV, the Chevrolet Volt, the Prius. Additional vehicle components from the Nissan Leaf BEV, Toyota Prius Prime, Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Ford Explorer Hybrid, Ford Fusion HEV, Chrysler Pacifica PHEV, and Honda CR-V Hybrid, Accord Hybrid, Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, Honda Civic HEV, Acura MDX and RLX Sport Hybrid are also covered.
Intended Audience: Do-it-yourself hobbyists, hybrid and electric vehicle owners, fleet vehicle technicians and managers, service technicians, service managers, high school and college auto shop teachers, factory training center instructors, vehicle engineers, and service engineers. It is
required that the individual has completed
Phase I (High-Voltage Safety) and highly recommended that the individual has completed
Phase II (Hybrid Electric-Vehicle Systems) training before registering to enroll in the Phase III Hybrid Electric-Vehicle Boot Camp course.
