1-day course
CPD Credit: 6.5 hours, C2
Course Aim
The aim of this course is to allow engineers to gain a level of knowledge of EVSE’s in line with more matured technologies and ensure the client receives the highest quality project outputs. Engineers will gain a grounding which allows them to converse confidently regarding EVSE requirements.
Course Overview
As we prepare for a landmark change in the way we commute as citizens, we must also take more than a cursory glance at the enablers for this new (revived) technology. To this end, sustainable building developments need to prepare for Electric Vehicles in a sustainable way. In order to assist those specifying solutions to design for a sustainable future and a happy client, this course has been designed to assist engineers and developers to get the job right. One size doesn't fit all!
The course will consider the technologies, standards and use case specific design. It will offer an opportunity for discussion as well as practical specification writing.
Programme
- The state of the art of Electric Vehicle technology
- Current & emerging standards for EVSE’s
- The importance of ICT
- Charge Point Management & Payment Systems
- Undertanding requirements of hosts and end users
- Identifying use-cases

Learning Objectives
This course has been developed to ensure that participants are up to date with EV technology, as required on client sites. The course will break the myths and misconceptions common to the industry and ensure that engineers have the appropriate tools to specify comprehensive and sustainable solutions, avoiding the risk of stranded assets, vendor lock-in or high running costs.
Who Should Attend?
This course will benefit consulting engineers on construction projects and those involved in environmental and sustainability management. The course is suitable for engineers of all levels who are interested in learning about Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure and the vehicle technology itself.
