The automotive world is accelerating into the electric era, and Legacy EV’s Fundamentals Certification Bootcamp is your ticket to the fast lane. Beyond the hands-on learning outcomes—like mastering high-voltage safety, EV kit installation, and wiring diagrams—this week-long program offers experiences that go beyond the basics of technical education.

Ready to learn, connect, and spark your next career move? Here are four extras you can expect when you attend this industry-leading bootcamp.

 

1. An Engaging Curriculum That Won’t Put You to Sleep

Most technical courses are synonymous with endless PowerPoints and lectures that lull you into a state of meh. Not here. Legacy EV flips the script with an energetic mix of whiteboard sessions and hands-on labs where you actually do the work. Whether you’re wiring a high-voltage battery pack or piecing together a functional EV system, this isn’t your average classroom. It’s education reimagined for the future of mobility

What sets this bootcamp apart is its commitment to personalized, hands-on instruction.

With a low student-to-instructor and technician ratio, you’ll have direct access to seasoned professionals who are there to guide you every step of the way. No getting lost in the crowd—your learning experience is tailored to ensure success.

Students also have access to cutting-edge equipment, including four purpose-built training benches, multiple aftermarket EVs, and even a go-kart, which serves as a cornerstone of the curriculum. These resources allow you to dive into the nitty-gritty of vehicle electrification in a controlled, supportive environment where experimentation and learning thrive.


Let’s face it: nothing beats learning by doing. Sure, theory is essential, but Legacy EV’s approach ensures you’ll leave with skills you can immediately apply in the real world—and a few stories to tell about the adrenaline rush of working on live systems (or racing that go-kart).

 

2. Meet, Greet, and Go-Kart: A Networking Playground

You won’t just walk away with certifications; you’ll leave with connections that can shape your career. Over five days, you’ll be rubbing shoulders with passionate professionals from diverse fields—automotive experts, educators, and entrepreneurs alike.

Expect lively discussions, pro tips swapped over coffee, and maybe even some friendly competition during a go-karting session with the Legacy EV team. Team-based exercises foster camaraderie, turning classmates into collaborators. The relationships you build here are a value-add that no classroom alone can offer.

 

3. Resources That Keep Giving After You’ve Gone Home

Your time at the bootcamp is just the start. After completing the program, you gain access to an arsenal of resources, including:

  • 25 hours of virtual coursework through the Virtual Certified Technician Program.
  • 6 hours of technical support with Legacy EV’s application engineers.
  • A 200+ page workbook packed with diagrams, installation guides, and step-by-step processes to ensure you can replicate your success on the job.

Not to mention, joining the alumni network plugs you into a community of like-minded professionals who are just as invested in your journey as you are.


4. A Career Foundation That’s Built to Last

The curriculum is product-agnostic and foundations-focused, which means you’re not tied to any specific brand or technology. Instead, you’ll emerge with a rock-solid understanding of EV systems that prepares you to pivot as the industry evolves.

You’ll also walk away with multiple valuable certifications and opportunities to advance your career:

  • Level 2 High Voltage Safety Certification
  • Adult First Aid (CPR and AED) Certification
  • Be ready to take the ASE xEV Level 1 and Level 2 examinations, giving you an edge in the automotive industry.
  • Begin the journey to earn your Legacy EV Technician Certification, which signifies mastery of EV conversions and a deep understanding of high-voltage systems.
