SYNETIQ celebrates dismantling skills certification

26th September 2023

SYNETIQ has become the first UK vehicle recycler to complete an Institute of Motor Industry-accredited course in EV dismantling.

The course is the country’s first dismantling-specific training based on national occupational standards and teaches delegates how to make high voltage vehicles safe and how to remove high voltage components and batteries after the vehicle has been made safe.

Natalie Buckley, HR Director at SYNETIQ, an IAA company, said, “We continue to invest in our colleagues and help to ensure they are equipped with the latest tools, skills and knowledge to be safe in their roles and to deliver the very best result for our clients and customers.

“Despite the government’s decision to postpone the ban of petrol and diesel vehicles, we’re continuing to plan for a future where electric vehicles will be the norm. I’m proud that we are working with some of the industry’s most accomplished experts in leading the way in battery recycling.”
