Train the next generation on real factory systems
A turnkey EV training lab for polytechnics and TVET institutions — hardware trainers, simulation, live digital twin exercises, and competency-based certification. Deployed in 8 weeks.
Key Challenges
What holds TVET institutions back
These problems are systemic across polytechnics and vocational training centers in both developed and emerging markets.
Challenge
Outdated or missing equipment
Institutions teach EV manufacturing theory from textbooks while the actual equipment budget covers only basic electrical bench trainers from a decade ago. Students graduate without touching an actual BMS, motor controller, or battery module.
How DFI Solves It
The DFI EV Training System bundles YaLong industrial-grade hardware trainers (BMS, motor, charging) with ARS simulation software. Institutions get a complete lab without sourcing individual equipment vendors.
Challenge
Curriculum does not match industry needs
Course content is designed by academics who last worked in industry five years ago. Graduates lack practical skills in digital twin operation, SPC interpretation, and engineering change workflows — the tools they will use on day one.
How DFI Solves It
DFI provides 12+ pre-built course modules developed with OEM partners and updated annually. Content maps to IPC, SAE, and ISO standards. Institutions can customize modules or use them as-is.
Challenge
No competency tracking or certification
Instructors grade students on exams and lab reports, but there is no structured competency framework. Employers cannot verify what a graduate actually knows how to do.
How DFI Solves It
DFI's training management module tracks competency per student, per skill area. Students earn digital badges mapped to industry standards. Employers can verify credentials via a public API.
