Stephen Cooper
I began my automotive career as an ASE Master Automobile Technician, working for six years across various shops and dealerships while pursuing degrees in applied science and Technology Education. In 2008, I transitioned to teaching high school automotive technology, where I set up the program at Desert Hills High School. After a decade, I moved to Dixie Technical College as the Program Manager, developing their automotive training program and expanding it significantly. Later, I supported additional programs and eventually became the Director of Industrial Programs, overseeing multiple departments and collaborating with companies for job placement. In 2021, I joined MSX as a Technical Instructional Designer, working with Polestar America to train Hertz technicians on electric vehicle service.

Polestar P3 HV Course Schedule
The Polestar P3 HV Course Schedule outlines a two-day high-voltage (HV) training program for instructors. Day 1 covers lectures on HV components and electrical distribution, followed by lab activities focused on identifying and understanding front and rear HV parts, interlock systems, vehicle de-energization, and component removal. Day 2 includes further lectures, HV battery removal, and internal component identification. The program culminates in three written tests, each requiring a 90% pass rate, certifying participants for HV component, battery, and BDU service. The schedule also lists required personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools.
Polestar PS2 High Voltage Training
This presentation outlines a comprehensive training program on high-voltage (HV) systems for Polestar 2 vehicles. The course covers essential topics, including HV safety protocols, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and HV system components such as the battery, inverters, and cooling systems. Detailed procedures for de-energizing and re-energizing the vehicle, along with testing and servicing the Battery Disconnect Unit (BDU) and Manual Service Disconnect (MSD), are included. The course also emphasizes hands-on lab activities for safe handling of HV components, isolation testing, and cooling system maintenance
