The electric and hybrid market is rapidly growing across the UK. With almost 400 thousand electric and hybrid vehicles on the roads in October 2020 and the Government’s recent announcement that petrol and diesel cars will be banned five years earlier than originally planned in 2035, projections show that these trends will continue to increase significantly over the next few years.
As a leading education and training provider for businesses across the Liverpool City Region, Wirral Met College has designed a new course that will enable vehicle technicians and mechanics to accelerate their skills and expand their service offering.
