Melbourne's move to electric buses
Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
Victoria committed that every new bus bought for its public transport routes from 2025 would be zero emission. Its first all-electric bus depot opened at Ivanhoe in Melbourne's north-east in February 2024, with 27 electric buses.
In September 2024 the state awarded Metropolitan Zero Emission Bus Franchises to Dysons, CDC and Kinetic. They are set to bring 600 electric buses onto Melbourne roads by 2035, covering 131 public routes and more than 230 school services.
Depot charging
Electric bus depots need charging, power supply and maintenance planning that diesel depots never did.
Franchise start
The new franchises took over when the previous contracts ended on 30 June 2025, keeping existing routes and timetables.
Heavy-vehicle skills
A fleet of electric buses needs people who understand traction motors, battery packs and high-voltage safety.

Studying from Melbourne
How the training works
1. Enrol online
Apply from Melbourne, and our admissions team shares the fees, payment options and batch dates for your country.
2. Learn live and on demand
Join live classes with EV engineers, then go back to recorded lessons, notes and quizzes whenever you need them.
3. Build and simulate
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.
4. Go hands-on (optional)
Some programmes include hands-on workshops at our centres in India for work on batteries, motors, controllers and diagnostics.
5. Get certified
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
Certificates and EV work rules in Australia
In Victoria, electrical installation work needs a licensed electrician, and EV repair skills are taught through nationally recognised automotive units delivered by registered training providers. Our certificate is evidence that you completed our programme. It is not a Victorian or national licence and is not authorisation to work on high-voltage vehicles.
FAQs
EV training in Melbourne: common questions
Is the Melbourne EV training online or in a classroom?
It is online only. We have no Melbourne campus, so every class and assessment happens on the learner portal.
How do Indian class times line up with Melbourne?
Melbourne is 4.5 hours ahead of Indian Standard Time in winter and 5.5 hours ahead in summer. Morning classes in India suit Melbourne afternoons best, and every session is recorded.
I'm a diesel bus mechanic. Where should I start?
Start with the motor and drive programme to understand electric drivetrains. For hands-on repair skills, the Certified EV Technician course includes a workshop held in India.
Does the certificate count as a Victorian qualification?
No. It shows your training with us, which some employers value, but it is not part of the national training system.
What are the fees for Melbourne learners?
Our admissions team will share the fees and the payment options that work from Australia.
What time are the live classes in Melbourne?
Live classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time, and Melbourne is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of India (IST). A class at 7:00 pm IST starts at 12:30 am the next day your time. Most sessions are recorded to your learner portal, so you can catch up when a class falls outside your hours.
Which is the best EV course in Melbourne?
The best course depends on your background. For most learners in Melbourne we suggest the Advanced Nanodegree Certification Program in EV Engineering, Automotive Design, Development, & Dynamic Analysis or the Advanced Nanodegree Certification Program in Battery and BMS Design, Analysis, & Simulation; our admissions team can compare options against your experience and goals.
How long does an electric vehicle course take?
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.
Is there EV training near me in Melbourne?
We do not run a campus in Melbourne. The programmes are taught live online, so you can join from anywhere in Melbourne; hands-on workshops, where a programme includes them, take place at our centres in India.
Which EV programme suits an engineering graduate?
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.
