Course overview
Automotive Technology with EV Systems
Vehicles on Kenya's roads are more electronic every year, and electric motorbikes, buses and cars are arriving fast. Most automotive courses have not caught up. This one has.
You master engine and vehicle systems servicing and electronic diagnostics first. Then you add high-voltage safety, battery and charging systems and electric vehicle maintenance, working in partner garages and fleet depots from your first term.
You graduate with a national diploma in automotive engineering and the IDEA Certificate in Electric Vehicle Systems, ready for the vehicles on the road today and the ones arriving tomorrow.
