Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply knowledge of EV types, components, and battery technologies to select appropriate vehicles for specific applications.
• Analyze charging standards, connectors, and communication protocols to recommend suitable charging solutions.
• Evaluate site requirements and electrical infrastructure for the safe and efficient installation of charging stations.
• Design basic charging infrastructure layouts, considering load management, renewable integration, and user needs.
• Implement maintenance and safety procedures for EV charging equipment and vehicles.
• Demonstrate an understanding of regulatory frameworks, incentives, and environmental impacts related to EVs in South Africa.

Target Audience

This course is designed for fleet managers, automotive technicians, facilities managers, energy consultants, and professionals involved in the rollout or management of EV charging infrastructure in South Africa.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real EV and charging equipment. Practical work includes identifying components, simulating charging sessions, and performing safety checks.

Practical Activities

• EV Component Identification and Basic Checks — Learners inspect an EV (or high-fidelity mock-up) to identify major components and perform basic visual safety checks. (2h)
• Charging Session Simulation and Diagnostics — Using a training charger and simulated EV, learners connect, initiate, and monitor a charging session, and interpret basic diagnostic data. (2h)
• Infrastructure Installation and Safety Walkthrough — Learners review a typical installation (or mock setup) of a charging station, including electrical connections, earthing, and protective devices. (2h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
