The 2024 SEMA Show is expanding its education program will include two full-day courses on electric vehicles (EVs) and EV safety. The courses, "Electric Vehicles 101" and "High-Voltage Safety Certification Training," are being presented by SEMA Education and Legacy EV.
The courses are designed to increase attendees' understanding of EV powertrains and safety. Both courses will be limited to 20 participants given the hands-on nature of the training. "Electric Vehicles 101" is comprised of two sessions: "Understanding EV Anatomy and Electrical Theory" and "Applications with EV Specifications, EV Tooling, HV Safety." "High-Voltage Safety Certification Training" is a new offering for anyone working close to or directly with high-voltage vehicles and products.
“What makes these courses unique is the hands-on experience students gain by working with EV equipment and wiring right in the classroom during the SEMA Show,” said Mavrick Knoles, co-founder and president of Legacy EV. “Participants will not only walk away with valuable experience but can also credit the cost of both of these sessions towards a comprehensive Legacy EV Certified Technician course post-SEMA Show.”
"Electrical Vehicles 101" will reward EV 101 certification and cost $599, and attendees can register to attend the class here. "High-Voltage Safety Certification Training" will result in a Legacy EV Level 1 High-Voltage Safety certification, a Legacy EV Level 2 High-Voltage Safety certification, a digital badge, and a physical certificate and cost $1,399. The safety certification training will also require two to four hours of pre-course work as well. Attendees can register for the class here.
“The SEMA Show is a global platform to showcase the latest trends, innovations, and future of the automotive aftermarket. Education is a cornerstone of the Show designed to help our members address their most significant challenges,” said SEMA Trade Show Director Andy Tompkins. “The 2024 program has been created to showcase takeaways and information that attendees can immediately utilize to improve and strengthen their businesses.”
