Your Trainer. Your Expert. Jan-Hinrick Behrens.
I am an HV trainer and electromobility expert based in Berlin, combining engineering knowledge, hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for safe high-voltage qualification.
For more than ten years I have worked in electromobility, vehicle technology, and safety-critical HV systems. My focus is on practical training, DGUV-compliant instruction, and the technical analysis of electric drive and storage systems. This is built on my engineering knowledge, my teaching experience, and my practical background in the automotive sector.
This drives my commitment: making complex technical relationships understandable and conveying lasting understanding rather than mere regulations. That is why I accompany companies and professionals from the first step through to full HV qualification: individually, practically, and in full compliance with standards.
Why I do this with passion: because understanding protects lives.

The didactic core of my work as an HV trainer: I offer you a fully modular, role-based training concept that gives your company maximum flexibility and optimal use of resources – from awareness training to Qualified Person.
My modular concept makes it possible to minimize training costs while maximizing safety. Every employee receives from me exactly the qualification their role requires – no more, no less.
Understand. Apply. Act Safely.
At the heart of my teaching approach is not regulation, but understanding. I am convinced that those who truly grasp technical connections act safely – not because they have to, but because they can.
Understand
I make complex high-voltage concepts tangible and comprehensible through modern visualizations, technical animations, and engineering explanation models.
Apply
Practical exercises on real vehicles and high-voltage systems are my focus – creating genuine confidence in action that goes beyond purely theoretical knowledge.
Act Safely
Final tests and documented qualification records verify the competence acquired and provide legal certainty for your company.
Online Training. Knowledge Without Limits.
I offer flexible e-learning modules as a complement to in-person qualification – for foundational knowledge, refresher courses, and standards updates. Anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Foundation Modules

Refresher Modules
Regular knowledge refreshers in accordance with DGUV 209-093 – documented, certified, legally compliant.
Standards Updates
Current changes in DGUV 209-093, UNECE R100 and other relevant standards – compactly and clearly prepared by me.
Consulting & Compliance. Safety from the Start.
Standards-compliant qualification doesn't begin in the training room – it begins with the right planning. I support companies from the risk assessment through to complete qualification documentation.
Risk Assessment
I systematically analyze the high-voltage-relevant activities in your company – in accordance with ArbSchG and DGUV Regulation 1.
Qualification Planning
I develop a tailored qualification pathway for every role and every area of your company.

DGUV 209-093 & UNECE R100 – Standards I Work By
DGUV Information 209-093
"Qualification for Work on Vehicles with High-Voltage Systems"
Edition August 2021 · Previous number: DGUV 200-005
Issued by the German Statutory Accident Insurance (DGUV) in cooperation with the ZDK (German Motor Vehicle Trades Association), this information defines the requirements for qualifying persons who carry out work on vehicles with HV systems.
It applies to land vehicles (passenger cars, trucks, buses, industrial trucks, two-wheelers and others) – but not to rail-guided vehicles, watercraft or aircraft, or permanently grid-connected vehicles.
The DGUV Information distinguishes two tiered systems:
- S, 1S, 2S, 3S – for work on series-production vehicles
- E, 1E, 2E, 3E – for development & production
The FHV (Qualified Person High Voltage) is considered an electrically skilled person under DGUV Regulations 3 and 4 for the high-voltage systems subject area. In all my training, I make sure it is fully compliant with these requirements – from basic instruction through to full specialist qualification.
UNECE R100 – Regulation No. 100
"Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Vehicles with Regard to Specific Requirements for the Electric Power Train"
UNECE R100 is an international standard of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and defines the safety requirements for electrically driven vehicles and their high-voltage components.
It defines high voltage as:
- > 60 V and ≤ 1,500 V direct current (DC)
- > 30 V and ≤ 1,000 V alternating current (AC)
UNECE R100 sets out protective measures, insulation requirements and test procedures for HV systems and is referenced in DGUV 209-093 as international regulation.
I teach UNECE R100 not as an abstract regulation, but as a practical safety tool – understandable, hands-on and fully integrated into my training.
Frequently Asked Questions.
What are the prerequisites for the high-voltage qualifications?
The prerequisites vary depending on the qualification level. Level 1 requires no specific prior knowledge. From Level 2 onward, relevant prior knowledge or a completed Level 1 qualification is required. A detailed overview can be found in the respective course descriptions or upon request.
Are the training courses manufacturer-specific?
No. All of my training courses are designed to be fully manufacturer-neutral. The competencies taught apply to all common vehicle brands and HV system architectures.
How long are the qualification certificates valid?
DGUV Information 209-093 recommends regular refresher training to maintain qualifications. I am happy to advise you on the recommended renewal intervals for your specific industry and activity.
Are in-house training sessions possible at our site?
Yes. In-house training is available for all course formats and levels. I come to you, qualify your staff on your own vehicles, and adapt the training concept to your processes.
Can training be developed for specific vehicles or systems?
Yes. As part of project-based corporate training, I develop fully customized qualification programs tailored to your specific vehicles, production facilities, or service processes.
More Frequently Asked Questions.
What does a high-voltage training course cost?
Costs vary depending on the training format, the number of participants, and the location. Group programs are generally far more cost-effective than individual sessions. I'm happy to prepare a tailored quote for you.
Which standards are the training courses based on?
My courses are based on DGUV Information 209-093, UNECE R100, relevant VDE guidelines, and industry-specific requirements. All content is continuously updated to reflect the latest standards.
How many participants can attend a course?
My courses are designed for group sizes of 4 to 16 participants. For larger corporate groups, I develop multi-stage training programs. In-house courses start from 6 people.
Do participants receive an official qualification certificate?
Yes. All course completions are documented with a qualification certificate that meets the requirements of DGUV Information 209-093 and is recognized by authorities, insurers, and certification bodies.
