Electric vehicle course guide
Online EV courses are flexible and affordable; hands-on training is where you learn to use tools on real vehicles. Neither is better on its own: the right mix depends on the job you want. Here is what each does well and how to combine them.

Most of what an EV engineer or technician needs to understand can be taught well online, especially with live classes rather than recorded videos alone.
Some skills only come from working on real equipment under supervision. If you want to service or repair EVs, these are not optional.
| Online (live + recorded) | Hands-on workshop | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Theory, design, simulation, programming | Tools, safety practice, diagnosis, servicing |
| Where | Anywhere | A training centre with vehicles and equipment |
| Pace | Flexible, with recordings | Fixed days in a batch |
| Cost | Lower | Higher (lab, equipment, trainers) |
| Needed for technicians? | Yes, for the theory | Yes, essential |
| Needed for design engineers? | Yes, most of the work | Helpful, not always essential |
Our programmes combine both. Theory is taught in live online classes with recordings, so you can join from anywhere. The CEVT technician programme adds a 3-week practical workshop, and the PG programme adds hands-on workshop modules on two-wheelers, four-wheelers and embedded systems, at our Delhi and Pune centres.
For design and embedded learners, the EV Embedded Development Kit brings real hardware home: two controllers, a battery management unit, CAN, sensors and displays on one board, so you can write firmware and test it without travelling.

You can learn the theory online, but repair skills need hands-on practice with tools and real vehicles under supervision. That is why the CEVT programme includes a 3-week practical workshop.
What matters is the programme behind it. Our programmes end with a certificate employers can verify online, and their recognition (such as ASDC or AICTE NEAT) is listed on each programme page.

No. The EV Embedded Development Kit is optional; it helps if you want to practise embedded programming on real hardware at home.
