Duration:
Fourteen hours across two days including a tour of the line
This course is designed to provide an introduction to battery manufacture and use and the essential role battery storage plays as part of Net Zero the movement away from fossil fuels to renewable or low carbon energy. The course covers in detail the manufacture and development of battery technologies with the chance to experience our manufacturing facility.
The course will run from 09:00 - 16:00 - Breakfast served from 08:30, Lunch will be provided. Teas and Coffees available throughout.
Course structure:
Delivered over two days at UKBIC’s custom-built industrialisation facility’. Our experienced trainers contextualise the learning, linking presentations and discussion with a detailed tour and insight into the production process and giga-scale line.
Learning coverage:
