Two of the main content and training providers are the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) and SAE. Included below are their course overviews and links to receive more information about how to collaborate.
EVITP Overview
The EVITP program provides the most comprehensive training for the installation of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) in North America today. More than a technical installation course, EVITP offers a full overview of the electric vehicle industry including an extensive section on Customer Relations & Customer Satisfaction
Developed in collaboration with industry, EVITP offers the perspective of automakers, utilities, EVSE equipment manufacturers and other key stakeholder associations. The EVITP collaborative understands the importance of the EV market being properly supported as it develops and expands. The electricians installing EVSE must understand the many aspects of the market today to adequately address customer questions, concerns and satisfaction.
The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) has rigorous instruction and training standards. Appropriate entry requirements, expert instruction, a comprehensive and regularly updated curriculum with a demanding final exam ensures strong comprehension, performance, and consistent training results.

SAE Programming Overview
Introduction to EV Infrastructure: Standards, Regulations & Safety Practices PD532329
As a new and emerging industry, EV charging infrastructure presents a large and complex domain for engineers who have little to no experience working in this area. What are the key EV charging standards that engineers need to know? What protocols do engineers need to understand? What are the regulations and how do they differ by region? How do these standards, rules, and guidelines interoperate to ensure reliable, interoperable, safe, and secure EV charging?
This course facilitates the use standards and best practices to build a foundation for how and when to use them. It will also introduce communication protocols that establish rules and guidelines for how EV Chargers (EVSE) operate and communicate. The course also includes global regulations according to geographic regions and how they impact engineering and business decisions.
