MITO approves Hyundai EV tech training

Hyundai New Zealand’s Electric Vehicle Technical Training programme is now recognised by MITO, which will significantly shorten the time for Hyundai EV Master Technicians to achieve Level 5 qualification.

“This is great news for Hyundai New Zealand,” Hyundai New Zealand general manager Andy Sinclair says.

“The new qualification will benefit all of those in our dealer network, including our future EV Master Technicians, plus those who have already trained, as they are now well on their way towards their Level 5 qualification.”

Sinclair says it’s a top priority to ensure all dealer network technicians are skilled and able to work on the latest Hyundai technologies.

“We will continue to work alongside New Zealand Government agencies and training organisations to ensure the work we are doing is in alignment.”

MITO has worked together with industry representatives to develop the New Zealand Certificate in Electric Vehicle Automotive Engineering (Level 5).

Prior to MITO announcing the new qualification, Hyundai New Zealand worked with the training organisation to ensure its own well-established Electric Vehicle Technical Training programme was in-line with MITO’s EV qualification.
