EV skills in Birmingham
By April 2025, Birmingham-based National Express West Midlands had 329 zero-emission electric buses on the road, after adding 170 Alexander Dennis double-deckers that month. The operator aims to run a fully zero-emission bus fleet by 2030.
JLR, which has deep roots in the region, will be one of the first customers of the Agratas battery gigafactory in Somerset. The first phase of production there was expected in late 2027, as of October 2025, at a planned 40 GWh a year.

Who it is for
The Mechanical Nanodegree covers EV design and vehicle dynamics for engineers at carmakers and tier-one suppliers.
The Battery & BMS Nanodegree and the battery and powertrain programme suit engineers moving from engines to electric drive.
CEVT builds EV servicing and diagnostics knowledge before IMI Level 3 or 4 study.
The Embedded Systems Nanodegree covers the control units and networks in modern EVs.
Studying from Birmingham
Apply from Birmingham, and our admissions team shares the fees, payment options and batch dates for your country.
Join live classes with EV engineers, then go back to recorded lessons, notes and quizzes whenever you need them.
Work through design calculations, simulations and projects. An optional DIY hardware kit lets you practise on a real control board at home; ask the team about shipping to your country.
Some programmes include hands-on workshops at our centres in India for work on batteries, motors, controllers and diagnostics.
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
Birmingham dealerships, bus depots and independent garages normally want IMI-recognised EV qualifications before a technician touches high-voltage systems; Level 3 covers repair with the system de-energised and Level 4 covers live working. Our certificate is not IMI accredited. Many learners use our course to understand EV systems first, then take the IMI route their employer asks for.
FAQs
No. It is an online course; DIYguru has no centre in Birmingham or the UK, and optional hands-on workshops are in India.
Some may, because the 4.5 to 5.5 hour gap to India puts them in UK working hours. Recordings let you catch up after your shift.
The battery and powertrain programme is a good first step, followed by the Battery & BMS or Mechanical Nanodegree for more depth.
Yes, if you will work on high-voltage vehicles in a UK workshop. Our course does not replace IMI levels or TechSafe.
It can support an application with EV projects you have completed, but employers set their own criteria and we do not guarantee roles.
The admissions team shares fees and payment options for UK learners.
Live classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time, and Birmingham is 5 hours 30 minutes behind India (IST). A class at 7:00 pm IST starts at 1:30 pm your time. Most sessions are recorded to your learner portal, so you can catch up when a class falls outside your hours.
Professional Certification Programmes run for about 3 months, the CEVT technician programme 3 months, Advanced Nanodegrees 6 months and the Post Graduate programme 12 months.
We do not run a campus in Birmingham. The programmes are taught live online, so you can join from anywhere in Birmingham; hands-on workshops, where a programme includes them, take place at our centres in India.
Yes. The CEVT programme covers EV batteries, motors, controllers, charging and diagnostics for two- and four-wheelers, with an optional hands-on workshop in India. Always follow your employer's high-voltage safety rules before working on a vehicle.
Electrical and electronics engineers usually pick the EV modelling or battery and BMS Nanodegrees, mechanical engineers the EV automotive design Nanodegree, and embedded or software engineers the embedded systems or ADAS & AUTOSAR tracks.
