Developing skills to install and maintain EV chargers across the UK

EV charging qualifications

Installing and maintaining the number of EV chargers required up and down the UK will involve thousands of hours of highly skilled work, requiring electrical engineers.

Working in collaboration with City & Guilds, we have developed an innovative pilot programme that will allow around 36 electro technical apprentices to gain the skills required to install and maintain electrical vehicle chargers. The six-day programme is being offered to fourth year apprentices as a bolt-on to their original college training course. Those who successfully complete the course will be qualified to work on Shell EV Projects.
