EV Class Presented by Zev Tech Consulting

Light snacks and drinks will be provided during the day and lunch will be provided all 5 days. At the start of the training we ask if anyone has food allergies and we adjust the menu for them. 

We provide all tools and training manuals. Technicians are encouraged to bring their meters so they can compare them to the new industry standards for working on EVs if they would like to. 

Refund policy: 75% refund up to 1/1/2026, after that we will allow transfer to another name, but no cancellations.
