Program overview
The College Diploma - Green Vehicle Technician (GVN3) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
GVN3 is the automotive trade's electrification credential: EV architecture, high-voltage safety, battery systems and diagnostics taught as a dedicated two-year program rather than a bolt-on module. With the St. Thomas battery plant anchoring a regional EV corridor, the timing borders on unfair advantage.
The setting matters: London is a purpose-built student city of half a million, priced well below the GTA, with Express Entry and OINP pathways open to graduates who stay to work in Ontario.
The post-2024 rules test sub-degree fields, and this program’s is CIP 47.0614 (Green and electric vehicle technology); confirm current alignment on the college’s official list before building plans on it.
