How to become an electrical fitter

You can get an SEP licence up to 1 kV and a UDT platform licence quickly. Without them it is hard to work on your own on large buildings.

Tailoring your CV to the job offer

A hall contractor looks for cable routes and lighting, an industrial firm for connecting machines and cabinets, and work abroad for licences and languages. Move to the top what the job ad is about.
