Someone has handed you a sheet with a code on it. This page explains what's behind it: what they studied, how it was tested, what we'll tell you about their results, and what a certificate can't tell you. It's free.
Enter the reference from their sheet and where to send it. We email you their module results, their general test performance and the date they finished, usually the same day.
Module by module, with the date each test was passed. You can see whether the battery safety module is behind them before they touch a damaged pack.
Overall test performance as a band. What matters to you is whether they understood the material, and a band shows that better than 86 versus 88.
The same list we give mentoring shops: the tasks their completed modules make it reasonable to hand over, and the ones to keep supervised.
Their speed, their hands, or whether they show up on time. Tests can be retaken on purpose, because they're there to make someone learn the material. Treat the scorecard as evidence of knowledge, then check the hands yourself.
These are printed on every sheet so you can test the knowledge yourself. Here's what a good answer sounds like.
You want to hear the brake cutoff sensor before anything else, and you want to hear why: a lever that does not return leaves the controller believing you are braking forever. If they reach for the controller first, they have memorized parts rather than learned diagnosis.
The only right answer refuses the easy one. Do not charge it, do not bring it inside, isolate it, tell the customer, and put the finding in writing. Anyone who offers to 'test it on the charger' has not done Module 5.
Hands on every connector, seating the locking collars, before any part is ordered. A technician who starts by pricing a controller costs you money.
13 hours of self-paced study and around 18 hours of hands-on practice, covering electric bikes, kick scooters, e-mopeds and electric motorcycles.
