CEET 100V - Electric Vehicle Technology and Service Micro-Credential

Course Description

The CEET 100V course in the Electric Vehicle Technology and Service Program will provide Automotive Service Technicians with an entry point into the knowledge and skills required to safely diagnose, service, and repair high voltage electric vehicles.

The program is designed for Professional Automotive Technicians, building on experience with conventional vehicle systems, and developing the specialized skills necessary to service and maintain the ever-increasing numbers of electric vehicles on our roads.

This program intends to meet the current high demand for EV training in the dealership, independent, and fleet repair community. The program consists of 6 hours of interactive online learning and 30 hours of in class/shop theory and hands-on practical instruction.

Testimonials

“Camosun College is a very well-equipped facility with everything from cut away parts and whole engines with their components to complete vehicles to diagnose and take apart and test their systems hands on.

Myself and our Techs from Saanich all came away with a great training experience and new knowledge for ourselves and to take back to our workplaces. I would recommend this program to anyone or any operation that has EVs now or will have in the future.”
