HV Learning Pathway
TÜV SÜD Academy’s HV Safety Learning Pathway includes:
- Level 1: Fundamentals of High Voltage Systems in Electric Vehicles (self-paced overview course)
- Level 2: Qualified Safety Work for High Voltage Vehicle System in a De-energized State (instructor-led training covering fundamentals of electrical engineering and HV systems)
- Level 3: Live Working EV Training: High-Voltage Vehicle Systems and Battery Safety (advanced training for working with operational high-voltage systems)
These three courses are designed to help keep every member of your organization safe, regardless of physical involvement with new technology.
The HV Level 1 training is a self-paced overview course. The Level 2 is an instructor-led training course that exposes students to the fundamentals of electrical engineering and as well as an overview of HV systems in vehicles. Students who successfully complete Level 2 become qualified to take the Level 3 course to work with operational high voltage systems. Students who do not pass level 2 are not permitted to attend the Level 3 course.
