This 3-day class is all about hybrid cars.

You will need to have taken Unit 1 and 2 ACDC training before taking this class. Unit #1 is a one-day High Voltage Safety class. Unit #2 is a two-day deep level electrical review. You can attend without taking these two classes, if you are an ASE certified Master with L3. Outside the USA, talk to Craig. We recommend Unit 1 and 2 to everyone even if you are certified elsewhere.

Over the three days of class time, you will be in the shop with 8 different Hybrid cars. You will learn, in simple terms, the components in the high voltage system. Their construction and function will be explained. You will be in the shop over 50% of the time. If you do not own the three ACDC books, they are required. You will need a high voltage glove set for each tech that attends. We stock recently tested and certified glove kits. Bring your multi meter, leads, and safety gloves. Lunch is included, plus snacks, coffee and drinks.

Unit 1: High Voltage Safety Class

High Voltage Safety is the first step in working on any vehicle that has orange cables. During this one day class, you will be in the shop with 6 different EMVs (HEV-PHEV-EV) and do the “safe down” procedure yourself. We will have you using safety equipmnet and tools. You will leave with a safety certifcate, confidence, and an understanding of the high voltge power flow. You will be in the shop over 50% of the time. Handouts will be given out in class.

The classroom is at the end of the shop area. You will need a high voltage glove set for each tech that attends. We stock recently tested and certified glove kits. Bring your multi meter, leads, and safety gloves if you have your own.

We have 3 books for sale, you can review in class, available for an extra fee.

Unit 2: Mastering Electrical Systems
2025-05-07 08:30 - 2025-05-08 16:30 UTC | ACDC Training Center, 24 Wells St, Worcester, MA, 01604, United States
This is a 2-day class. Over the 2-days we will review the use of a DVOM, scope patterns, reading a wire diagram, and more. We have a unique electrical training system built into our training center. You will be amazed at how quickly you will grasp the electrical theory. Over 50% of your time in class will be spent with a meter, scope, and live electrical circuits. It’s hard to fix an electric car when electricity is not your friend.
