EV skills in Colombo
A factory in Maradana, Colombo, began producing electric three-wheelers in March 2024 and can convert petrol or diesel three-wheelers to battery power. Conversion work like this needs technicians who understand motors, controllers and battery safety.
In March 2024 Cargills and USAID launched six solar-linked chargers at Colombo supermarkets as a first phase. The Ceylon Electricity Board's November 2025 plan for solar-powered fast charging was announced in Colombo.
Converting tuk-tuks to electric is local, practical work that calls for EV servicing skills.
Supermarket car parks have become early public charging sites in the city.
Since February 2025, newly imported EVs have needed dealer and service support in the capital.

Who it is for
The Certified EV Technician course teaches EV fault-finding and routine servicing, and adds a practical workshop in India.
The motor and drive programme explains how motors and controllers are matched to a vehicle.
The EV business Nanodegree covers service centres, conversions and charging as businesses.
The charging technology programme covers charger hardware, standards and solar-linked supply.
Studying from Colombo
Apply from Colombo, 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
We found no Colombo or national licence for EV mechanics or converters. Vehicle conversions and registrations follow motor traffic rules, and employers decide who may work on high-voltage parts. Our certificate records your training only and is not a licence or approval for conversions.
FAQs
Yes. The programmes are built for working people, with evening live classes and recordings.
Yes. Colombo and India share the same clock, so live classes need no conversion.
The technician course and the motor and drive programme cover the systems involved. Any conversion you carry out must still meet Sri Lanka's vehicle rules.
No. Hands-on workshops are only at our centres in India. Ask the team about shipping our optional electronics kit to Sri Lanka.
It helps show what you know, but employers make their own decisions. We do not promise placements.
Live classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time, and Colombo is the same time as India (IST). A class at 7:00 pm IST starts at 7:00 pm your time. Most sessions are recorded to your learner portal, so you can catch up when a class falls outside your hours.
The best course depends on your background. For most learners in Colombo we suggest the CEVT - Certified Electric Vehicle Training Programme or the PCP in Motor Drive & Control System; our admissions team can compare options against your experience and goals.
Fees depend on the programme: short professional certificates cost less than the six-month Nanodegrees or the 12-month PG programme. Send an enquiry and the team will share current fees and payment options for Sri Lanka.
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 Colombo. The programmes are taught live online, so you can join from anywhere in Colombo; 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.
