Working with Shell UK to train qualified electricians to install and commission Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment in domestic, commercial and industrial locations.
Is this course right for me?
This qualification serves as a supplementary short course, supporting the professional development of competent electricians who meet industry entry requirements outlined in the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS). It is aimed at practicing electricians interested in understanding how to design and install the range of electric vehicle supply equipment and systems available. It is specifically designed for those proficient in designing low-voltage radial power circuits, with a focus on installing small-scale electric vehicle supply equipment in domestic and small commercial settings. By completing this qualification, electricians can enhance their expertise in regard to EV charging infrastructure, with the aim of ensuring safe and efficient installations for the growing demand in this field
Shell UK are supporting the training of electricians across the UK by co-funding the cost of the course – this investment is part of Shell UK’s ambition to support 15,000 people into jobs, with a focus on energy transition by 2035.
A copy of the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (5th edition) IET Wiring Regulations 18th Edition: BS 7671:2018 (2022) Requirements for Electrical Installations textbook will be required to bring on the first day.
