Trainee Testimonials

  • "Jack’s training is always good. Not a teacher/student environment but rather colleagues working together."

    Steve, Chabot College

  • “Jack has assembled one of the best put-together series of hybrid vehicle HV system/propulsion classes to date. The information has been broken down into an easily digestible format to make the students comfortable and confident with the knowledge that is easily absorbed."

    Brandon, San Francisco, CA

  • “[It] was beyond my expectations! I went to Toyota classes on these topics but Jack did a much better job. I won't forget it all when class is over! Hands-on troubleshooting of high-voltage issues was great and not usually covered anywhere else, even in Toyota factory classes."

    Rick, College of Alameda

  • “I walked into class not knowing anything about Teslas, but I left with a very good understanding of the servic einformation, maintenance intervals, safety procedures and the special tools required to work on these vehicles."

    Herbert, San Francisco, CA

  • “The class balanced theory and hands-on practice, keeping me and other participants engaged throughout both days. I am eager to further expand my knowledge by pursuing the Tesla training series offered by Earthling Automotive. "
