As demand continues to grow for vehicles that run on alternative fuels, technicians need specialized training to keep up with technology changes and to provide high-quality service. AFVi is the leading choice for those who are looking to expand technician expertise with vehicles powered by natural gas (CNG/RNG/LNG), hydrogen, propane, and electricity. This is due to three major factors: a flexible range of scalable training formats, options for technician certification, and prestigious ASE accreditation.
1. Multiple Training Modes for Alternative Fuels
Because vehicle technicians may learn, retain, and apply knowledge differently, a one-size-fits-all training approach is often insufficient. That’s why we offer courses delivered in multiple formats: live online, live in-person, and on-demand e-learning. This lets technicians choose which methods are the most appropriate for their schedules, learning styles, and current workloads.
These options also provide maximum scalability for both small, large, or multi-location operations.
Live Online
Instead of training that may feel impersonal or limited, AFVi focuses on interactive learning in our live-online classroom. Instructors are not only industry experts, but engage directly with participants through dynamic, real-time content. Technicians are given ample time to ask questions, receive instant validation that they’re learning the information correctly, and get a deeper understanding of core concepts for engines/powertrains and fuel systems.
Live In-Person
In-person training takes our interactive learning to the next level. Instructors travel to the client’s company for a site visit to deliver both classroom instruction and hands-on workshops that address key skills necessary for alternative fuels — for example, how to assess the different types of CNG cylinder damage.
On-Demand E-Learning
For those who prefer self-paced instruction, AFVi’s e-learning platform offers convenience without sacrificing quality. Technicians can access high-quality modules identical to those delivered in live in-person classes anytime, anywhere, allowing them to learn the same information as our live courses on their own terms.
2. Comprehensive Training for Alternative Fuels
Technicians need to be familiar with multiple types of alternative fuel systems if they want to be successful in their careers, including those used on light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles.
Where other providers may only focus on specific alternative fuel systems, we teach technicians how to inspect and maintain all of them — even preparing for new ones that are about to enter the market.
3. ASE Accreditation
ASE accreditation is recognized nationwide as a mark of quality and excellence. For technicians, this means being held to the highest standards in their field.
Currently, AFVi is the only ASE-accredited training provider in the entire alternative fuels industry. Achieving this status was a rigorous process, which is why most organizations don’t pursue it, and why they tend to focus their training efforts on specific fuel system products.
We earned ASE accreditation so that technicians who complete our coursework don’t just walk away with new skills — they leave with training that signals to employers and clients that they have the knowledge and expertise needed for optimal fleet performance.
This is especially true for those technicians who choose to pursue certification as CNG fuel system inspectors.
