New simulation centre to boost training in maintenance of electric vehicles

31 Jan 2024

National EV Specialist Safety (Ness) is a national-level certification programme launched by the Land Transport Authority in May 2022 to equip the workforce to handle EVs, as Singapore pushes for their adoption. It is open to trained mechanics and anyone keen to learn about EV technology. NTUC LearningHub, which started offering the Ness course in March 2023, has trained more than 250 participants so far. It wants to serve 500 trainees in 2024. Besides NTUC LearningHub, the Ness course is also available through the Institute of Technical Education College West, ComfortDelGro Engineering and three polytechnics – SP, NP and RP.
