Electric vehicle sales are at an all-time high and with every major manufacturer offering a choice it’s hardly surprising many new car buyers have or will consider buying one. There are grants off the cost of up to £500 for EV purchasers to install charge point at home, or up to £10,000 for business, providing they are installed by a qualified installer.

To help you get involved, GRE Training has partnered with RolecEV to offer a one-day City & Guild 2919-01 accredited electric vehicle charging course that is designed for qualified electricians who want to learn about the technical requirements and practical considerations when installing charging points for electric vehicles.

The course includes:

  • Introduction to electric vehicles
  • Overview of electrical vehicles charging
  • Domestic, commercial & public installations
  • Inspection, testing & certification
  • Risk assessment and pre/post installation checking
  • System testing, fault finding & examination

The course is delivered in partnership with Rolec EV. Rolec are the largest provider of EV equipment in the UK. In addition to becoming a qualified EV Charge Point Installer you have the option of becoming a Rolec Approved Installer. On the day you will be given a Rolec Pack which contains examples of free marketing materials Rolec will provide you with free of charge. Rolec will also assist you with your OLEV registration and provide technical help with any installs.
