Training
EV charging training — T1, T2 and T3
Precifarm trains hub staff, partner operators and field engineers on Pulse, Pod, Depot, Boda Hub and Corridor charging across Kenya — from home installs to highway DC.
Our three-tier programme builds competence in a clear sequence: safe awareness (T1), routine field maintenance (T2), then commissioning and advanced diagnostics (T3). Every module is mapped to the chargers, CSMS and hub layouts we operate from home charging to highway charging — not generic classroom theory.
Who should attend
- Hub operators and site hosts on Nairobi–Kisumu and partner locations
- Home installation crews commissioning Pulse charger and Pod energy storage
- Fleet managers, depot staff and boda operators using Depot charging and Boda Hub
- Field engineers, electricians and maintenance teams installing or servicing chargers
