SAE International developed the SAE EVSE Technician Certification to establish and verify skills and knowledge necessary for technicians to maintain, repair, and operate EV charging stations. 

Tailored for individuals transitioning into green technology or seeking to validate their existing expertise, the SAE EVSE Technician Certification will be granted to technicians who have fulfilled specific eligibility requirements and successfully passed the rigorous exam developed by the SAE ITC Probitas Authentication based on the SAE EVSE Technician Body of Knowledge.

"Our goal is to offer a scalable certification program through a trusted partner that will initially start in the United States but grow internationally as consumers continue to adopt more electric vehicles, and infrastructure grows to meet this demand,” said Sharaine Eldafrawy, SAE International . “We believe that Pearson VUE is ideally suited to support us in achieving this goal."
