| Opportunities to Support EV Education, Training, and Research in Belgium Dear ##fullname##,
As the transition to electric mobility accelerates, the need for skilled professionals and robust training programs is more critical than ever. Recently, EV Belgium has received several requests from educational institutions and government bodies seeking our industry's expertise to support and shape future education, training courses, and research initiatives in Belgium.
Below, you will find four specific opportunities where your input, expertise, or collaboration can make a significant impact. We invite you to review these requests and participate where your organization can add value. | | | | | | | REScert: Smart Charging Course for Installers The Vlaams Energie- en Klimaat-agentschap (VEKA) is developing the RESCert course for installers focusing on smart charging infrastructure, as part of the REDIII implementation. The course targets technicians and installers with previous knowledge and training and leads to an official RESCert certification.
VEKA is looking for a small number of EV Belgium members to provide input on the proposed contents of the course during a focus group. This specifically concerns aspects of smart charging, interoperability of communication protocols, open and closed systems, charge card compatibility, and backoffice integration. Interested? Contact us now! | | | | | Market Exploration for Future Training Modules (KdG) The Sustainable Industry Research Center at KdG is conducting a market exploration to gauge interest in their upcoming training modules. By registering your interest, you permit KdG to keep you informed about future course dates and provide you with an opportunity to submit any other specific training needs you might have.
Currently, the primary focus is on three in-depth courses: CAN & OBD in modern cars, Malfunctions when charging electric cars, and Certification of electric cars (NBN)*. In addition to their standard curriculum, KdG also offers tailored, in-company training programs designed to meet the specific needs of your organization or members.
