What You Will Study

The successful achievement of this qualification requires you to complete all core units from the list below.

Core Units

• AURETH101: Depower and reinitialise battery electric vehicles
  • This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to depower and reinitialise battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It involves ensuring the vehicle high voltage (HV) rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) is isolated before commencing any service or repair work. It also involves calibrating vehicle systems that may need resetting once the energy storage system is reinitialised. Importance is placed in the unit on applying RESS and separated extra low voltage (SELV) electrical safety procedures.
• AURETH102: Inspect and maintain battery electric vehicles
  • This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to inspect and maintain battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It involves working with automotive electrical components, maintaining rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS), and performing basic tests on electric drive motors. Importance is placed in the unit on applying both high voltage (HV) rechargeable energy storage systems RESS and separated extra low voltage (SELV) electrical safety procedures.
  • Pre-requisite unit: AURETH101
