The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) offers training and qualifications for vehicle technicians to ensure they meet industry standards, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of electric
vehicles (EVs).
IMI Level 3 Training
This is an advanced qualification for technicians specialising in hybrid and electric vehicle maintenance and repair. It provides a solid understanding of high-voltage systems and safety procedures.
Focus Areas:
– Introduction to hybrid and EV technology.
– Safe working practices when dealing with high-voltage systems.
– Diagnosis and replacement of high voltage components.
IMI Level 4 Training
This is the highest level of IMI certification for EV specialists, designed for those working on complex diagnostics and high voltage system repairs.
Focus Areas:
– In-depth knowledge of high-voltage battery systems and components.
– Advanced diagnostics and fault-finding in hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
– Repair and replacement of damaged high-voltage systems.
– Understanding of electric drivetrain and energy management systems.
Importance of IMI Training
Both certifications emphasise safety when working with high voltage systems and provide technicians with the expertise to service and repair modern EVs. As electric vehicles become more prevalent, these qualifications ensure technicians can meet the demands of the growing EV market while adhering to industry and manufacturer standards.
High-Voltage Vehicle Technician Certification
Being qualified as a High-Voltage (HV) Vehicle Technician indicates expertise in working with electric and hybrid vehicle systems, which operate at significantly higher voltages than traditional combustion engines.
Key Components of High-Voltage Certification:
- Safe Handling of High-Voltage Systems: Technicians are trained to safely interact with components like batteries, inverters, and electric motors, minimising risks associated with high-voltage systems.
- Advanced Diagnostics: They diagnose and repair faults in electric drivetrains, battery management systems (BMS), and other EV-specific components.
- Battery Management and Repair: High-voltage technicians can handle tasks such as battery disassembly, cell replacement, and system calibration.
Certification Process:
- This qualification typically includes a combination of manufacturer-specific training (like Audi’s programs) and recognised industry standards, such as the IMI Level 3 or 4 in Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Systems.
Combined Expertise:
When an Audi Master Technician is also High-Voltage Certified, they are equipped to handle the full range of Audi’s modern vehicles, from traditional combustion engines to fully electric models like the Audi e-tron series. This combination ensures expertise in both mechanical and electrical systems, aligning with Audi’s commitment to precision engineering and innovation.
