THE EV Mechanics Course 1/2026 graduation ceremony was held on 14 March in a hybrid format at the Technical, Vocational and Trainer Training College (Belin).
The Chairman of the Working Committee on EV Research, Development, and Technology Deputy Minister for Science and Technology Dr Aung Zeya attended the graduation ceremony via videoconferencing from Nay Pyi Taw, along with the director-general, deputy directors-general, and officials from the Department of Technical and Vocational Education and Training.
The deputy minister stated that, due to the significant growth in the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by the public, trainees must address the technical needs to ensure the safe long-term use of EVs, while also disseminating knowledge among the public and colleagues and continuously studying the technologies covered in training to become skilled EV technicians who can contribute to the country’s development.
He also urged course instructors to offer courses consistently, ensuring they meet quality standards, and encouraged them to stay updated with rapidly developing EV technology, while also emphasizing the importance of regularly reviewing and improving their EV technology skills and training capabilities.
The principal of the College presented the completion certificates.
Since 2022, the Working Committee has been offering EV technology courses at the Government Technical Institute (Insein) and the Technical, Vocational and Teacher Training College (Belin) under the Department of Technical and Vocational Education and Training, as well as at the Vehicle Research Institute (PyinOoLwin) under the Department of Technology Promotion and Coordination. Initially, in 2022, only one course was available, with 35 graduates. Since last year, the programme has expanded to offer nine EV technology courses, producing 900 graduates to date. To keep pace with evolving technical demands, customized courses are regularly developed based on the needs of the public and EV entrepreneurs. — MNA/ TH
