Logistics UK launches new electric vehicle training course
Logistics UK has announced a new portfolio of electric/hybrid vehicle training courses which cover safety awareness, preparing the vehicle for repairs and carrying out system repairs and component replacements.
Courses begin from February 2023 and are designed to support members as the transition to electric and hybrid vehicles continues to accelerate.
Decarbonisation is now high on the agenda for operators, and safety must continue to be a key priority. The introductory half-day online safety awareness course is mapped to the IMI Level 1 Award in Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Qualification content and will enable learners to continue to work safely within their role. This webinar will benefit professional drivers, fleet managers and vehicle sales/hire company personnel who operate Public Service Vehicles (PSV), HGVs, fleets or Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV).
The move to electric vehicles is well underway, and while much focus has been placed on ensuring the correct infrastructure is in place, it is also vital that safety is considered. The courses will include expert advice and training conducted from highly qualified and quality-assured engineers.
David Jordan, Deputy Operations Director – Services Training, Logistics UK said: “With Logistics UK’s engineering technical training, your organisation will benefit from industry’s best by ensuring your vehicles remain safe and cost effective.
“These brand-new courses will introduce the knowledge of safe working practices, the dangers surrounding electric/hybrid vehicles and the precautions required to avoid potential injury when near these types of vehicles. Logistics UK hopes that providing these courses will help precautions to be taken against the risk of death or personal injury from electricity in work activities including electric and hybrid vehicles.”
Learners can opt to complete an IMI Level 1 qualification assessment, subject to exam centre availability – this will incur an additional registration and certification fee of £39.50 per learner. Levels 2 and 3 (suitable for HGVs and PSVs) will be announced in the coming months.
