SAE Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Technician Certification

SAE International, the world's leading authority in mobility standards development, has produced a certification program to establish and verify the skills and knowledge of technicians who maintain, repair, and operate Electric Vehicle charging stations.

In addition, Probitas Authentication provides the service of conducting the review and approval of training course content and training provider administration against the specific sector requirements.

Whether you're venturing into the green tech sector or solidifying your standing within it, this certification ensures you possess the necessary knowledge and skills essential for thriving in this rapidly evolving field.

Exam Delivery Methods

SAE International currently supports exam delivery through three mechanisms:

  1. Test Center based delivery through Pearson VUE’s worldwide network of testing centers.
  2. OnVUE online proctoring allows you to sit the exam at your convenience at a suitable non test center location, while being watched by a remote invigilator through your webcam. Read more about OnVUE to learn about the process and decide if OnVUE is right for you.

Note that writing utensils and paper are not allowed during OnVUE exams, but you will have the option to use the inbuilt OnVUE Whiteboard feature while taking the exam online.

If you are uncomfortable with any of the OnVUE requirements, we recommend you schedule an in-person exam at a Pearson VUE Test Center.

Exam Security and Candidate Agreement

SAE International takes the security of its certification exams seriously and requires all candidates to accept the terms of a Candidate Agreement. By accepting these agreements, candidates agree to the terms and conditions of the SAE EVSE Technician Certification Program, by maintaining the confidentiality of the content of all exams.
