Level 1,2, 3 Plug-In and EV on-Board Charging System & Chargers (Begins January 16, 2018)
Three (3) 1-hour online training sessions:
Plug-In and Electric Vehicles are quickly becoming a larger part of the vehicle market due to their all electric operation. These vehicles need access to charging systems to recharge the large battery packs in a short period. This series will cover the 3 Levels of charging stations and the associated vehicle on-board charging systems. It is critical that technicians understand the 3 Levels of charging stations and the vehicle on-board chargers to gain an understanding of charging systems diagnostics and repair. At the conclusion of this series, the technician will know all 3 Levels of charging stations, on-board chargers, how charging station and on-board charger power is controlled and the associated diagnostics. This class results in a certificate of completion that will be provided to the participant after successfully completing all online training sessions in the series. The certificate and its stated hours are eligible for NATEF annual credit and may count toward other professional development requirements.

High Voltage Wire and Cable Systems (Begins January 30, 2018)
One (1) 1-hour online training session:
High Voltage wires and cables transfer power from one High Voltage device to another. In this series, technicians will learn about shielded cable construction, how to build shielded cables for jumper cable test leads, how to analyze and repair shielded cable, and the reasons that High Voltage system needs shielded cable. At the conclusion of this series, technicians will know how to analyze, repair, and build shielded cable used in High Voltage systems. This class results in a certificate of completion that will be provided to the participant after successfully completing all online training sessions in the series. The certificate and its stated hours are eligible for NATEF annual credit and may count toward other professional development requirements.

EV/HEV Battery Pack Hardware and Control Systems (Begins February 20, 2018)
Four (4) 1-hour online training sessions:
Knowing the internal components of any systems is vitally important for a service technician, whether it is an engine, transmission, or other system. This series will instruct the technician on battery pack internal High Voltage Contactors (relays), sensing systems and the vitally important Pre-Charge system so Scan Tool data, failure modes, and diagnostics are more fundamentally understood. At the conclusion of this series, the technician will be able to apply the knowledge learned about battery pack hardware and control systems to Hybrid, Plug-In, and Electric Vehicle systems, and the associated battery pack and Pre-Charge circuit failures. This class results in a certificate of completion that will be provided to the participant after successfully completing all online training sessions in the series. The certificate and its stated hours are eligible for NATEF annual credit and may count toward other professional development requirements.

3-Phase Permanent Magnet Electric Transmissions & Drive Units (Begins March 1, 2018)
Five (5) 1-hour online training sessions:
3-Phase PM Motor-Generator units are the predominant technology used in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles such as BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota and others. This series is critical for technicians as a foundation in understanding PM technology enabling them to effectively apply diagnostic techniques and service these units. A technician should have a firm technical understanding of how the PM technology creates and transfers propulsion, regenerative braking and zero torque modes to the powertrain. This series will provide the technician with significant information on PM operation and lay a foundation for how diagnostic techniques applied in a later series. Some Scan Tool and diagnostic concepts will be discussed in this course. This course should be a prerequisite prior to attending the Analyze, Test & Diagnose 3-Phase Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Transmissions & Drive Units series. This class results in a certificate of completion that will be provided to the participant after successfully completing all online training sessions in the series. The certificate and its stated hours are eligible for NATEF annual credit and may count toward other professional development requirements.
