Programme Description
The government has actively promoted the use of electric vehicles (EV) in recent years, aiming to stop new registrations of private petrol cars and hybrid cars before 2035. This leads to a rise in the popularity of electric vehicles, and the market demand for professionals in EV repair and maintenance is expected to increase significantly.
To response to the market changes and address the real-time demands, IVE Engineering In-service Training Office has launched a new training programme "Certificate in Electric Vehicle Repair and Maintenance", to enhance the professional knowledge and technical skills of current practitioners and new recruits in EV maintenance and repair.
