1. Program Overview

The Certified Electric Vehicle Technician (CEVT) Training Program is DIYguru's job-oriented, hands-on certification designed to equip individuals with the practical skills necessary to service, repair, maintain, troubleshoot, and retrofit electric vehicles. Unlike theory-heavy courses, the CEVT program is built around real-world workshop practice — candidates work on actual EV components and vehicles, gaining the muscle memory and diagnostic instincts that employers demand.

The program follows a structured 3-month format: Month 1–2 (Online) covers EV fundamentals, battery technology, motor systems, charging infrastructure, safety protocols, and retrofitting concepts through live demonstrations, recorded modules, quizzes, and assignments; Month 3 (Offline) is a complete hands-on immersion at DIYguru's Centre of Excellence labs in Pune or Delhi, where candidates work on 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler, and 4-wheeler EV platforms — performing battery pack diagnostics, BMS calibration, motor servicing, controller troubleshooting, charging station operation, EV retrofitting, fault analysis, and safety procedures under the supervision of industry experts.

India's EV market is surging — total EV sales crossed 2.3 million units in 2025 (Vahan Portal / IESA), with electric two-wheelers alone reaching 1.28 million units. But every EV on the road needs trained technicians for service, repair, and battery maintenance. Unlike conventional petrol or diesel vehicles, EVs have lithium-ion batteries, high-voltage systems, and electric drivetrains that demand specialised knowledge. India currently has a massive shortage of EV-trained service technicians — with the EV fleet projected to reach 80 million by 2030, the demand for certified EV technicians is set to explode. The average entry-level salary for EV service technicians is ₹15,000–25,000/month, with experienced technicians earning ₹30,000–50,000/month — and the numbers are rising rapidly as the EV ecosystem matures.

At the end of the program, DIYguru provides 1-week career consultancy sessions and 1-week placement preparation covering CV preparation, interview training, communication skills, career planning in the automobile/EV industry, and internship/placement opportunities through DIYguru and its 300+ partnered industries.
