WARRENDALE, Pa., June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SAE International,
the world's leading authority in mobility standards development,
has selected Pearson (FTSE:PSON.L) and its Pearson VUE
business, the global leader in computer-based testing for
high-stakes certification and licensure exams, to deliver its new
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Technician Certification
beginning in May 2024. This
partnership aims to address the shortage of qualified EV
technicians to support the growing EV infrastructure in the US and
around the world.
SAE International developed the SAE EVSE Technician
Certification to establish and verify skills and knowledge
necessary for technicians to maintain, repair, and operate Electric
Vehicle (EV) charging stations. Tailored for individuals
transitioning into green technology or seeking to validate their
existing expertise, the SAE EVSE Technician Certification will be
granted to technicians who have fulfilled specific eligibility
requirements and successfully passed the rigorous exam developed by
the SAE ITC Probitas Authentication based on the SAE EVSE
Technician Body of Knowledge.
Sharaine Eldafrawy, Product Manager, Sustainable Mobility
Solutions, SAE International said, "Suitable candidates
for this certification include those eager to embark on a career
shift towards sustainable technology, as well as professionals
aiming to certify proficiency in industry-defined training
standards. Whether they're venturing into the green tech sector or
solidifying their standing within it, this certification ensures
they possess the necessary knowledge and skills essential for
thriving in this rapidly evolving field."
Commenting on the partnership with Pearson VUE, Eldafrawy added,
"Our goal is to offer a scalable certification program through a
trusted partner that will initially start in the United States but grow internationally as
consumers continue to adopt more electric vehicles, and
infrastructure grows to meet this demand. We believe that Pearson
VUE is ideally suited to support us in achieving this goal."
"We are honored to partner with SAE International and to start
delivering their new certification exam," said Eric D'Astolfo,
Vice President, Business Development, Pearson VUE. "SAE
International is the recognized global authority in mobility
standards development, and we are excited to support SAE
international's mission in growing this certification in the U.S.
and expanding it to other markets around the world.
"SAE's new certification program will benefit from our network
of global test centers, which enables test-takers to choose where
to take their exam either in one of our more than 5,000 secure test
centers around the world, or through OnVUE, our online-proctoring
platform, and will provide SAE a streamlined and integrated
solution to bring their new assessments to market with a trusted
