NBN R 03-001: what automotive employers need to know

HEV certificates are useful evidence of individual training and competence. But they are not the employer’s safety system. NBN R 03-001 matters because it starts from the work, the risk and the responsibilities inside the organisation.

Practical questions, answered.

Can you deliver this in-company?: Yes. Most NBN and HEV trainings run at the client's own workshop or academy, on your vehicles and with your procedures.
Which language do you train in?: Dutch, French and English as standard. Other languages on request for international rollouts.
Do participants receive proof of participation?: Every participant receives an attestation or certificate. BA4 and BA5 attestations are valid for three years.
What group size do you recommend?: Six to twelve participants for classroom levels, four to ten for hands-on and expert levels, so everyone gets vehicle time.
Can you adapt the content to our brand procedures?: Yes. We align the de-energizing procedures, tooling and documentation with your brand standard before the first session.
How fast can a session be scheduled?: In-company sessions typically start within four to six weeks. Open sessions at Aartselaar run monthly per level.
