IMI Level 3 Award in Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Systems Repair and Replacement.
This unique course will enhance your existing knowledge and understanding of electronic principles. It will develop your understanding further and teach you how to safely apply those principles to high voltage repair and diagnostic procedures.
All learners successfully completing this IMI Level 3 qualification will acquire significant core knowledge and skills, and the ability to safely remove and replace electric and hybrid vehicle high voltage components.
The course is delivered over five days with a 60/40 percent split theory to practical. As part of your training you will disarm at least two vehicles, and check for low and high voltage present. You will then go on to (under one-to-one supervision) test for voltage, remove a high voltage component, check the components’ functionality, refit and retest.
You will also use the very latest diagnostic equipment to check that the repair status meets all the necessary criteria, determined by both the vehicle and the component manufacturer.

At the end of the five days, technicians will be able to:
- Identify suitable sources of information before working on a hybrid vehicle.
- Identify high voltage cabling and components.
- Identify AC and DC voltage systems, as well as understand the fundamental difference.
- Identify how to set up the work area correctly to comply with national, local and legal requirements.
- Identify the immediate first aid needed in the event of an accident.
- Identity the differences in recovery and rescue processes of a hybrid vehicle.
- Identify and be aware of the effects of the close proximity of magnetic fields on the human body.
