Course FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Which course should I choose?
Lithium Battery Fire SafetyEveryday devices, e-bikes, e-scooters, tools, phones, laptops and home storage. Safe EV ChargingCharging electric vehicles at home, at work and in public. Lithium Battery Fire Safety on BoatsBatteries on vessels and in marinas, where help can be a long way off and getting off the boat isn't simple.

If more than one is relevant to you, they complement each other. The Battery & EV Charging bundle covers the first two together for less than buying them separately.

How do I access a course after I buy it?

As soon as your purchase is complete, log into your account on our store and open the course from your courses area. Everything runs in your web browser, so there's nothing to download and no app to install.

What device do I need?

Any phone, tablet or computer with a web browser and an internet connection. Your progress saves automatically, so you can start on one device and finish on another.

How long do the courses take?

Between 45 and 75 minutes, depending on the course. They're all fully self-paced, so you can work through one in a single sitting or across several, and pick up again anytime right where you left off.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Once you complete the lessons and pass the final assessment (80% to pass), you'll receive a certificate of completion, valid for 12 months. You can retake the assessment as many times as you need.

Is this accredited training?

No. These are awareness-level education courses only. They are not a professional certification, a trade qualification, or a statement of competency, and they do not qualify anyone to perform electrical work, emergency response or firefighting. All electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician.

Are the courses available in other languages?

Yes. The Lithium Battery Fire Safety and Safe EV Charging courses are both available in Simplified Chinese. The course content is in Simplified Chinese and the certificate is issued in English, which suits employers training staff whose first language isn't English.

Can you train a team, fleet or marina?

Yes. The courses give every learner the same safety baseline and an individual certificate, which suits workplaces, fleets, building and strata managers, marinas and yacht clubs. Get in touch and we'll help set up access for your team.

I'm buying more than one course. How are they allocated?

Any order of more than one course has to be allocated before those extra courses can be used. Buying a quantity of two or more does not automatically give access to more than one person, so email sales@evfiresolutions.com.au with the full name and email address of every person a course is for. We'll allocate one course to each of them and they'll receive access directly.

Please include your order number, and tell us which course each person should receive if your order covers more than one title. Each learner completes their own assessment and receives their own certificate.

Can I get a refund?

Because these are digital courses you get immediate access to, we're generally unable to offer a refund once you've started. If something has gone wrong, or you've bought by mistake, contact us and we'll help sort it out. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law always apply.

Course scope & limitations

Our courses are awareness and educational courses only. They build general understanding of fire risks, warning signs, safe handling, and basic emergency response principles.

Completion of a course, and any certificate issued, is not a professional certification, a trade qualification, or a statement of competency under the Australian Qualifications Framework. It does not qualify any person to perform electrical work, emergency response, firefighting, hazardous materials handling, or any other regulated activity. All electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with the Wiring Rules and relevant standards.

EV Fire Solutions gives no warranty, express or implied, that completing a course will prevent, mitigate, or ensure a safe outcome in any real fire or emergency. Every incident differs, and outcomes depend on many factors beyond the scope of these courses. Learners and their employers remain solely responsible for complying with all applicable work health and safety laws, manufacturer instructions, and the directions of emergency services, regardless of whether a course has been completed.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where the law permits us to limit our liability, our liability for any failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited to resupplying the course or paying the cost of resupply. Otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law, EV Fire Solutions is not liable for any loss, damage, injury, or claim arising from reliance on a course or the actions of any person who has completed it.
