Who developed this Induction course?

It's been built by EV FireSafe, and tested globally with organisations across all sectors.

EV FireSafe is a team of firefighters, training experts and consultants who have been researching, burning, tearing down and examining EVs since 2018. These courses are based on our extensive experience, data and globally emerging best practice. In may cases, we’re setting the global standard in EV fire safety and response, and have built out frameworks and evidence-based assessment tools designed to protect people and property.

Our mission is to enhance the safety of everyone working around EVs and lithium-ion batteries! You can see our research at evfiresafe.com and other training courses here at evfiresafe.training

Are these courses accredited or have CPD points?

As there are no accreditation standards for the courses we run (anywhere in the world...yet!) our courses are not accredited, and we currently don't offer CPD points.

Rest assured though...on all topics, we aim to set a high global standard in EV fire training.
