SAE International has selected Pearson and its Pearson VUE business to deliver its new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Technician Certification beginning in May 2024. This partnership aims to address the shortage of qualified EV technicians and support the growing EV infrastructure in the US and around the world.
SAE International developed the SAE EVSE Technician Certification to establish and verify skills and knowledge necessary for technicians to maintain, repair, and operate electric vehicle charging stations.
“Our goal is to offer a scalable certification program through a trusted partner that will initially start in the United States but grow internationally as consumers continue to adopt more electric vehicles and infrastructure grows to meet this demand,” said Sharaine Eldafrawy, product manager, Sustainable Mobility Solutions, SAE International.
The SAE EVSE Technician Certification will be granted to technicians who have fulfilled specific eligibility requirements and successfully passed the rigorous exam developed by the SAE ITC Probitas Authentication based on the SAE EVSE Technician Body of Knowledge.
“SAE’s new certification program will benefit from our network of global test centres, which enables test-takers to choose where to take their exam either in one of our more than 5,000 secure test centres around the world or through OnVUE, our online-proctoring platform, and will provide SAE a streamlined and integrated solution to bring their new assessments to market with a trusted and proven partner,” said Eric D’Astolfo, VP of Business Development, Pearson VUE.
