Two days. Everything you need to start taking EV work.
You'll be working on live high-voltage systems the first afternoon, and you'll leave with the credentials, the written procedures, and the business plan to put it to work immediately.
One class. Two exits.
Collision shops and mechanical shops need the same foundation and completely different applications. So we teach the foundation together and split when it matters.
Shared core: Day 1 and Day 2 morning High-voltage architecture, safety, PPE, lockout/tagout, isolation verification, diagnostics, and battery testing. Identical for everyone in the room, because the physics doesn't care what kind of shop you run.
Track split: Day 2 afternoon You break into your track for application, documentation, and the business side.
Repair Track
Focus: Diagnose and repair EVs as a service line
Business segment: Building an EV service menu, pricing diagnostic labor, activating your customer base, fleet contracts
Includes Core+:
Component R&R
Thermal systems
PM intervals
Parts sourcing
EV service menu design
Collision Track
Focus: Disable, inspect, and document EVs in the repair process
Business segment: Insurer and OEM program eligibility, supplement documentation, cycle-time recovery
Includes Core+:
Post-collision pack inspection
Damage triage
Repairable vs. total loss
Quarantine and storage
Estimating HV operations
What you're actually buying.
Most training is an experience you pay for and then try to remember. This is a set of assets you take back to the shop.
Included
Two days of hands-on instruction on live EV systems Class size capped by bench space. Every attendee de-energizes a real system.
ASE EV2: xEV Technician Electrical Safety, Level 2 The nationally recognized credential for high-voltage work. Test voucher included.
NFPA 70E (2024) Electrical Safety in the Workplace (full preparation) The standard your insurance carrier and OSHA inspector will ask about. $55 payable directly to OSHA.
Written high-voltage safety procedures, ready to adopt Lockout/tagout, PPE selection and inspection, isolation verification, emergency response. Formatted as shop policy. Sign it and it's yours. Most shops pay a consultant four figures to produce this document, or never produce it at all.
Documentation and inspection templates The forms and photo protocol that support an invoice, a supplement, or a liability question eighteen months later.
Tooling and PPE purchase specification The short list of what you actually need, in purchase order, at a real spend number built for your shop, not a generic catalog. Most owners over-buy by thousands or stall out because nobody told them where to start.
EV Launch Advisory session One-on-one after class: readiness assessment, labor ops and pricing, market positioning, and the plan to convert the certificate into repair orders.
Track-specific business playbook Repair track leaves with a service menu and pricing framework. Collision track leaves with program-eligibility and documentation requirements.
Training is $1,650 per person with volume discounts. Contact us and we can see what's right for your shop.
The full two days.
DAY 1: MORNING · High-Voltage Safety & Fundamentals (shared core) OSHA-compliant safety protocols · PPE selection, inspection and care · lockout/tagout for a shop floor · high-voltage system identification · hazard recognition · isolation verification, performed hands-on
DAY 1: AFTERNOON · EV Components & Systems (shared core) Battery pack architecture · motor and inverter · DC-DC and 12V systems · charging systems · thermal management · diagnostic tools and equipment including what generic scan tools can and cannot see
DAY 2: MORNING · Diagnosis & Testing (shared core) Common failure modes across manufacturers · diagnostic procedure and sequence · battery health assessment · isolation and insulation resistance testing · module-level fault isolation · preventive maintenance intervals
DAY 2: AFTERNOON · Your Track Repair: component R&R, thermal system service, parts sourcing and availability, EV service menu design, pricing EV labor, activating your existing customer base Collision: post-collision pack inspection, damage triage and thermal risk, repairable vs. total loss judgment, quarantine and storage protocol, estimating and blueprinting HV operations, insurer and OEM program requirements
Come to us, or we'll come to you.
At our Massachusetts facility Open enrollment. Mixed room, both tracks, capped class size. Best for one or two techs.
At your shop, mobile training bench We bring the complete training bench and run the full curriculum in your bays. Your whole crew gets credentialed without anyone leaving the building, and the procedures get written against your actual floor, your equipment, and your workflow. No travel, no lodging, no lost coverage.
Best for shops sending three or more techs, multi-location groups, dealer groups, fleet operations, and vocational programs.
Why these two credentials, and what they're worth to you.
ASE EV2: xEV Technician Electrical Safety, Level 2 Non-brand-specific and nationally recognized. This is the credential that answers "is your shop qualified to work on this vehicle?" when the question comes from an insurer, a fleet manager, or a customer. Brand-specific dealer training doesn't transfer; this does.
NFPA 70E (2024): Electrical Safety in the Workplace The workplace electrical safety standard. Matters for your OSHA posture and increasingly for your general liability carrier. Shops discover they need it at the worst possible moment, after an incident, or during a program application with a deadline.
Together they're the baseline most EV program applications, fleet bids, and insurer networks are built around.

FAQs
Do I need prior EV experience?
No. If you can diagnose and service vehicles now, you can do this. Attendees come from every kind of shop background.
How long is the training?
Two days, intensive and hands-on. You'll be working on real EV components, not watching slides.
Where is it held?
At our Massachusetts facility, or at your shop. Also, we have a mobile training bench and can run the full curriculum in your bays.
Which track should I pick?
Collision or auto body shop, take the collision track. Independent general repair, take the repair track. Doing both kinds of work, send techs to each. The shared core is identical, so you get two applications for one foundation.
Can I switch tracks after registering?
Yes, up until the day-2 split. Just tell us.
What tooling do I need before class?
None. Everything is provided for the training. You'll leave with a specification for what to buy afterward, sized to your shop and sequenced by priority.
Is my tech going to be ready to work on EVs Monday?
On safety, disable, and isolation, yes, immediately. On complex diagnostics, that comes with reps, same as it did on gas cars. What we guarantee is that nobody gets hurt and no vehicle gets turned away.
Do you offer group or multi-tech pricing?
Yes. Full price training for the class is $1,650 per person. On-site training at your shop is usually the better economic answer past three technicians. Ask us.
