In response, EV charger installer Qmerit is to collaborate with the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) to help reverse that shortfall by offering EVITP instruction and certification to its electrician network.
The collaboration expands access to the EVITP curriculum and testing needed for EVITP certification by making them available through the Qmerit Resource Centre (QRC), an online training portal for Qmerit's certified electrician network spanning the US and Canada. Such certification is often required to work on EV charging installations that come through utility programs or that will be supported by the just-passed Inflation Reduction Act.
Electricians who obtain their EVITP certification through the QRC will not only have access to a more streamlined, digital version of the program, but opportunities to put that knowledge to work right away. Qmerit says it performs thousands of EV charging installations per month through direct sales and partnerships with automakers, charger manufacturers, utilities and corporate fleet managers.
