As the UK rapidly expands its electric vehicle infrastructure, the demand for skilled installers grows. To support this, South and City College Birmingham offers a fully funded and accredited course in Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Point installations, providing essential training in installation, maintenance, regulations, and hands-on experience.
On 24th June, six electricians from Equans passed their City & Guilds 3-day EV Charger Installations course, becoming the first group to successfully complete the course at the College.
Tracy Kerr, Business Consultant, stated, “Our College is committed to supporting the Road to Net Zero by developing a suite of low carbon and electrification courses. These aim to help employers upskill their staff for crucial work in retrofit and decarbonisation.”
Trevor Harper, Electrical Manager from Equans, remarked, “In partnership with Birmingham City Council and residents, we’re equipping many new and existing properties with EV chargers. This course significantly enhances our team’s ability to install and maintain these systems, supporting our clients and driving positive change in our community. I’m pleased our first group of electricians has passed, and we plan to enrol more in the future.”
Tutor Pete Hook added, “Teaching this group was a pleasure, and I’m delighted they all passed.”
Feedback from the electricians was positive, with comments highlighting the knowledgeable and approachable instruction provided by Pete Hook.
If you are or know any electricians who would benefit from this 3-day funded course, please ask them to contact the College on 0121 694 5066 or email Tracy at [email protected]
