Master the Technology

Go beyond operating the vehicle. Understand AV systems, sensors, positioning, calibration and the failure signals that tell you when to continue, stop or escalate.

Make Better Decisions

Build stronger judgement around interventions, incidents and data quality. Learn how to document what happened clearly and produce records engineering teams can actually use.

Advance Your Career

Explore specialist roles, identify your qualification gaps, prepare for CVs and interviews, and earn an Advanced Certification you can share on LinkedIn.

About the Course

AV Operations Specialist - Advanced Certification is designed for both experienced AV professionals and those looking to build a deeper understanding of autonomous vehicle operations and career opportunities in the industry. The course is divided into two parts: the Technical Layer, covering AV systems, sensors, fault diagnosis, interventions, incidents and data integrity; and the Career Layer, exploring operating domains, specialist roles, qualification requirements and career progression. Across 7 modules, real-world case studies, practical exercises and assessments, you’ll gain a structured view of how AV operations work - from the technology behind the vehicle to the roles and skills that support successful programmes.
