EV skills in Manchester
Greater Manchester had more than 500 electric buses on the Bee Network by October 2026, up from 35 when buses returned to public control, with 163 more due. The aim is a fully electric bus fleet by the end of 2030.
In late 2025, ÂŁ59.1 million was allocated towards a further 220 battery-electric buses, and about half of the region's bus depots have now been electrified. Depot charging and maintenance are a growing part of local transport work.

Who it is for
The Electrical Nanodegree covers EV power electronics and simulation, useful for depot and charging projects.
The motor drive programme covers electric motors and inverters used in buses and cars.
The Data Science Nanodegree applies analytics to bus energy use, battery health and route planning.
CEVT adds EV servicing knowledge before or alongside IMI high-voltage qualifications.
Studying from Manchester
Apply from Manchester, 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
Bus operators and garages in Greater Manchester generally expect IMI-recognised EV qualifications for anyone working on high-voltage systems, with TechSafe registration as a common marker of competence. Our certificate is not IMI accredited and is not a licence. It gives you EV theory and project experience that can make an IMI course easier.
FAQs
Yes. Everything runs online through the learner portal; there is no DIYguru site in Manchester.
India is only 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead, so many live classes fall during the Manchester day. Recordings are available if you are at work.
Yes. The Electrical Nanodegree and motor drive programme cover chargers, batteries and drives used in electric buses.
No. Operators set their own requirements, normally IMI-recognised high-voltage qualifications; our certificate shows training completed.
Optional hands-on workshops are held at DIYguru centres in India, and a DIY electronics kit is sold separately; ask the team about shipping to the UK.
The admissions team sends fees and payment options for the UK after you enquire.
Live classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time, and Manchester 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.
The best course depends on your background. For most learners in Manchester we suggest the Advanced Nanodegree Certification Program in EV Engineering, Design, Simulations, and Analysis or the PCP in Motor Drive & Control System; our admissions team can compare options against your experience and goals.
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 Manchester. The programmes are taught live online, so you can join from anywhere in Manchester; 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.
