Skills bootcamp Electric Vehicle level 4
IMI Level 4 Award in the Diagnosis, Testing and Repair of Electric/Hybrid Vehicles and Components.
Our course provides comprehensive training on the safe removal and installation of high-voltage components in vehicles. This covers key elements such as battery modules and battery management systems, including temperature control cell management.
You will also learn how to evaluate and repair live high-voltage vehicle systems safely, utilising diagnostic and data gathering techniques to troubleshoot HV systems effectively. A core focus of the course is on the essential safety protocols required for organisations maintaining, diagnosing, and repairing HV components in both hybrid and electric vehicles.
Course highlights
Level 4 will give you expanded knowledge in HV vehicles – the main discussion topics include:
Installation of high voltage components
– Identify high voltage components
– Remove and replace a vehicles battery
– Balance high voltage battery modules and refitting the battery to the vehicle
Temperature control cell management
– The thermal management system is complex but important for controlling the temperatures of multiple vehicle components. Too hot and this will cause severe damage to the battery, too cold and this will reduce the output and the battery won’t be running at maximum capacity.
Component evaluation
– Carry out functional checks on high voltage vehicle systems following succession completion of repair
HV Safety
– Experience how to visually identify high voltage vehicles and gain the skills to competently secure the work area and the vehicle itself prior to any maintenance or repair.
– Vehicle identification marks & generic safety signage
