Being able to use an EV charging station is one thing, but teaching future technicians and electricians the ins and outs of maintaining and troubleshooting these systems is an entirely different challenge. How can teachers find resources and guidance to confidently and efficiently deliver essential training and prepare skilled technicians and electricians to meet the demands of a fast-growing industry?
As eMobility grows, the demand for technicians and electricians skilled in installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting EV chargers is on the rise. Many vocational career and technical education (CTE) schools are eager to offer new courses and programs to help students prepare for industry certifications. However, substantial groundwork is required before teachers can confidently lead their classes.
That’s why Festo Didactic has developed a solution that gets them up and running quickly. After consulting with technical educators and charging station manufacturers, and examining the main certifications in detail, our didactic engineers and curriculum designers created a ready-to-use course, complete with hands-on training equipment that is aligned with industry demands.
