What a battery academy should be
A battery academy is a place, physical or online, where working professionals build the knowledge they need to work in the battery industry. Not a wiki, not a single lecture, not a chemistry class. A programme that treats the industry as a system: technology plus manufacturing plus applications plus markets.
The three tests a battery academy should pass
- It teaches the value chain, not one slice. Cells, manufacturing, BESS, EVs, second life, recycling, markets. The people running the industry think in whole systems.
- It's taught by people building the industry. Practitioners from Tesla, Hitachi Energy, Fluence, cell makers, gigafactories, funds, not just academic staff.
- It gives you a real credential. CPD accreditation or an equivalent recognised body. Anything less is a completion PDF that won't move hiring managers.
What BatteryMBA delivers
BatteryMBA is a 12-week online battery academy built for full-time professionals. Live sessions plus recordings, industry lecturers, applied case studies, an active alumni network across 60+ countries, and a CPD-accredited certificate at the end.
Cohorts run three times a year. Among alumni who completed the programme, 95% say they would recommend it. It's built around one goal: getting you to the point where you can hold a serious conversation with anyone in the industry, and back it up with a credential that employers screen for.
