Description
The UK is aiming to become net-zero by 2050. The transport sector is one of the UK’s largest emitters of CO2 and a major source of air pollution in cities. The UK government’s commitment to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 with all new cars and vans being fully zero emission by 2035, and the growing adoption of hybrid and fully electric vehicles (Over 2.1 million plug-in vehicles already on UK roads), is driving huge demand for a reliable, nationwide charging infrastructure.
This qualification provides a strong platform for electricians to take advantage of that demand. This qualification services as a supplementary short courses, supporting the professional development of competent electricians who meet the awarding body pre-requisites (see the course's requirements for each in the 'who can attend' section below).
