The EVs in your market are already out of warranty. Someone is servicing them.
EV Mechanic Training gets independent repair and collision shops working on electric vehicles safely, profitably, and without waiting on a manufacturer program that may never come. Two days of hands-on instruction, national credentials, and a launch plan built for your bays.
Upon completion, you will earn your ASE EV2: xEV Technician Electrical Safety - Level 2 certification. You will also be prepared for the NFPA 70E (2024): Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace certification.
Two shops. Two different EV problems. Two tracks.
Collision and mechanical shops don't lose EV work the same way so we don't train them the same way.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
Stop sending your best customers to the dealer.
Your EV owners still need brakes, tires, suspension, coolant service and diagnostics. Right now they're driving past you.
Service any EV, any badge. Power down high-voltage systems safely, verify isolation, and work the vehicle end to end so an EV in your lot becomes a repair order instead of a referral.
Diagnose where dealers replace. Isolate battery, inverter, and thermal-management faults down to the module. That's high-margin diagnostic labor your competition can't quote and dealers won't perform.
Build recurring EV revenue. Add HV inspections, coolant loop service, and EV-specific maintenance intervals to your menu plus the fleet and rideshare contracts that require a certified tech on site.
COLLISION AND AUTO BODY
Stop subletting the first hour of every EV repair.
You can't touch the panel until the pack is de-energized. Right now that's a phone call, a tow, or a declined job.
Bring high-voltage disable in-house. De-energize, verify, and document to OEM procedure on your own floor killing the sublet fee and the cycle-time hit that's costing you on every EV file.
Bill the work you're currently giving away. Post-collision battery inspection, isolation testing, and HV damage triage are legitimate, documentable line items on the estimate with the records that hold up in supplements.
Take the claims your competitors decline. Safe handling, quarantine, and storage protocol for damaged packs is the gate on insurer and OEM EV programs. Clear it, and EV severity work routes to you.
We're not a curriculum company. We're EV people who teach.
Manufacturer training is brand-locked, seat-limited, and priced for dealer networks. Community college programs run semesters, not days. Neither one was designed for a shop owner who has to keep four bays running while getting his crew EV-ready.
We built the training we couldn't find: non-brand-specific, hands-on from hour one, taught on live high-voltage systems, and compressed into two days so your team is back on the floor Monday.
Credentials you leave with:
ASE EV2: xEV Technician Electrical Safety, Level 2 (test voucher included, $59 value)
NFPA 70E (2024) Electrical Safety in the Workplace fully prepared, $55 payable to OSHA
Written HV lockout/tagout, PPE, and isolation-verification procedures you can adopt as shop policy
Certification doesn't generate revenue. A launch does.
Most shops that "get EV trained" still don't book EV work six months later because nobody told them what to buy, what to charge, or who to tell. That's the part we own.
Every shop we train gets access to our EV Launch Advisory:
Readiness assessment: bay layout, ventilation, electrical service, and where your real constraint is
Tooling and PPE specification: the short list of what you actually need, in what order, at what spend
Labor operations and pricing: how to build EV ops into your estimating system so the work is captured, not absorbed
Insurer, OEM, and fleet positioning: the documentation and credentials that get your shop on the list
Go-to-market: how to tell your existing customer base you service EVs now, before your competitor does
HOW IT WORKS: Two days. Three steps.
Day 1: Make it safe. High-voltage architecture, hazard recognition, PPE, lockout/tagout, isolation verification. You will de-energize a live system before lunch.
Day 2: Make it billable. Diagnostics, battery and inverter testing, thermal systems, component R&R, and the documentation that supports the invoice.
Week 1 back: Make it stick. Your launch advisory session, tooling list, and pricing framework so the certificate turns into repair orders.
Who teaches this?
Matt Ferguson
Founder & Lead Instructor
Matt spent 20+ years running technology transitions inside organizations that couldn't stop working while they changed. CTO and Chief Product & Technology Officer roles at Biogen, Moderna, Randstad, and Sonesta Hotels. Most of that career was in regulated environments, where written safety procedure and documentation aren't paperwork. They're the license to operate.
He founded EV Mechanic Training after he saw that a big barrier for EV adoption and mechanic careers is training and safety. He built the training he couldn't find for independent shops: non-brand-specific, hands-on from hour one, and short enough that a crew is back on the floor Monday.
He teaches every class personally.
Your competition is two days behind you. Or two days ahead.
Seats are limited by bench space we cap classes so every tech gets hands on live systems.
