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.
Get your hands on 15 different vehicles used in boot camp: Eight BEVs: All four Tesla Models S, 3, X Plaid, and Y.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, Chevrolet Bolt EV, Kia Niro EV, and Nissan LEAF. Two PHEVs: The Chevrolet Volt and the
Subaru Crosstrek PHEV. Five HEVs: The Ford Explorer Hybrid, three generations of the Toyota Prius, and the Subaru
Crosstrek Hybrid. Additional vehicle components from the Toyota Prius Prime, Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Jeep Wrangle 4xe PHEV,
Ford Fusion HEV, Chrysler
Pacifica PHEV, Kia Niro Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, 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.
