Video only available in French

A FIRST IN CANADA!

The EV skill program aims to offer a structured training path and recognized certification in the maintenance and repair of electric and hybrid vehicles to workers in the industry throughout Quebec.

This program is offered to auto mechanics apprentices and mechanics employed in the auto service industry in Quebec.

Wage subsidies are available for these trainings!

In this program, the applicants’ salaries up to a maximum of $ 20.00/hour. Training manuals and high-voltage gloves are also free of charge to the candidate.

Only minimal registration fees are payable by the employer. Registration fees vary depending on the level obtained.

SELF-ASSESSMENT, THE STARTING POINT

Self-assessment is a tool that identifies the candidate’s level of knowledge in electricity. Different questions/scenarios are asked.

The candidate has the choice between one or more answers. First, the questions relate to basic electricity. After passing this level, the questions focus on intermediate electricity, up to the level of advanced electric vehicles.

Your time is limited on each level of the self-assessment.

🕞 Allow up to 3:30 a.m. to answer questions.

To help you with the self-assessment, here is a video that walks you through the steps.

To serve the consumer well, a certificate for garages with certified EV mechanics will be awarded.
