AA calls on Autotech Training for IMI EV training

27 May 2022  

With EV sales continuing to climb, Autotech Training is working with the AA to get all of its patrols trained up at least an IMI Level 2 electric/hybrid vehicle certification by the end of 2022.

All AA patrols are already trained to IMI Level 1 equivalent, but they become IMI TechSafe-registered when they gain Level 2 accreditation. The IMI TechSafe Standards for those working on EVs are set by the IMI and endorsed by the government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

Training is being delivered at the AA’s own training centre, which has IMI Centre approval for the delivery of IMI Level 2, and at Autotech Training’s dedicated EV training facility in Milton Keynes. Autotech Training is currently getting over 100 AA patrols up to IMI Level 3.
Commenting on the team-up, Autotech Training MD Colin Gleghorn said: “We are delighted to support the AA. The number of EVs on the road is rising and it is essential that patrols have the EV skill set to carry out any repair work safely.”

AA Road Training Manager Nicholas Foxall added: “Working with Autotech Training has enabled us to increase training capacity for our patrols and ensure that they are receiving industry leading development in Electric Vehicles. Combining our own bespoke training alongside Autotech Training’s electric vehicle training courses, and their team of highly skilled and experienced trainers, ensures that we can better prepare our patrols for ever-changing technologies.”
