Overview
In the process of training, we will prepare a specialist who works on electrical equipment, independently conducts electrical installation of industrial electrical equipment and puts it into operation.
At the end of the program, students undergo a qualification practice (1.5 months), where they learn to apply the knowledge gained during their studies in a real enterprise specializing in a particular field of activity. This is an opportunity not only to develop your skills, but also to establish yourself to a potential employer as a good specialist and stay at a permanent job.
After successful practice, students take a qualification exam.
Upon successful completion of the qualification exam, a professional qualification of the 4th level is assigned and an “Electrotechnician” qualification certificate is issued.
