Who it is for

Operators, installers and engineers on Precifarm hardware

Three tiers in sequence: site safety (T1), routine maintenance (T2), then commissioning and diagnostics (T3). Mapped to Pulse, Pod, Depot, Boda Hub and Corridor — not generic classroom theory.

  • Hub operators and site hosts
  • Home installation crews for Pulse and Pod
  • Fleet, depot and boda operators
  • Field engineers and electricians servicing chargers

Why Precifarm training

Real hardware. Real hubs. Not generic EV theory.

Same kit you operate

Courseware follows Pulse, Pod, Depot, Boda Hub and Corridor — the models Precifarm commissions in Kenya, not a generic OEM slide deck.

Field modules on route

T2 and T3 include supervised work on live hubs along the Nairobi–Kisumu corridor — CSMS, M-Pesa sessions and fault drills included.

Clear scope of work

Each certificate states what the holder may do — from safe bay support at T1 to commissioning sign-off at T3 — so partners know who can open an enclosure.

Certification ladder

Three tiers in sequence.

Start at T1 unless engineering approves equivalence. T2 requires electrical trade or hub experience; T3 requires licensed electrical qualification and authorisation.

Scope after passing
You canWork safely near chargers, support drivers during a session, report faults and follow emergency procedures — without opening enclosures or performing live repairs.Run daily hub checks, resolve common first-line faults, reset sessions and coordinate spares with Precifarm NOC — within defined SLA boundaries.Lead commissioning, configure CSMS reservations and load sharing, diagnose module-level faults and sign off hub handover documentation.

Common questions

Training FAQ.

Certification scope, prerequisites and refresher policy.

Who should attend Precifarm EV charging training?

Hub operators and site hosts (T1), installation crews and maintenance leads for Pulse, Pod and Depot (T2), and commissioning engineers authorised to sign off Corridor and depot handover (T3). Fleet managers often send bay staff at T1 plus one T2 lead per site.

Do I need prior EV experience for T1?

No. T1 is open enrolment with basic workplace safety awareness recommended. T2 requires a valid T1 certificate plus electrical trade background or 12 months hub operations. T3 requires T2, a licensed electrical qualification and written authorisation from Precifarm engineering.

Is training aligned to Precifarm chargers only?

Yes. Modules reference Pulse, Pod, Depot, Boda Hub and Corridor hardware, Precifarm CSMS and M-Pesa session flows deployed on commissioned sites — not generic classroom simulators.

How long is each certificate valid?

T1 is valid 24 months. T2 and T3 require annual refresher and, for T3, authorisation renewal. Certificates are issued within five business days of passing assessment.

Can we run a private cohort for our fleet or dealer network?

Yes. Partner cohorts of 6–16 participants can be scheduled on request with custom dates. Field modules use live Precifarm hubs on the Nairobi–Kisumu corridor where applicable.
