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 and proven partner," D'Astolfo added.
