    The battery academy for working professionals

    Search 'battery academy' and you'll find everything from a two-hour intro to a multi-year degree. Here's what a real battery academy should give you, and what BatteryMBA does differently.

    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

    1. 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.
    2. It's taught by people building the industry. Practitioners from Tesla, Hitachi Energy, Fluence, cell makers, gigafactories, funds, not just academic staff.
    3. 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.

    Informational and educational content only. Not professional, financial, legal, or engineering advice.
