The installer test does not test practical execution, but the candidate's ability to make professional and administrative assessments in accordance with current regulations. The role of professional responsible entails responsibility for safety, quality and compliance with requirements for electrical installations throughout the installation's lifetime.

This digital course gives you a structured and targeted review of the competence expected of a professionally responsible electrician, and prepares you for the exam situation.

What you'll learn

The course focuses on the areas of competence that the installer test tests:

  • Regulatory understanding (FEK, FSE, FEL, etc. and relevant standards)
  • The role of the professional responsible in the company
  • Risk assessment and internal control
  • Administrative assessments and decision-making processes
  • Typical issues from the installer test

The participants will gain further insight into how exam questions are structured, and how to structure good answers.

About the course

Here you will get an overview of course plans, professional support and recommended course material ahead of the installer test.

The webinar gives participants the opportunity to:

  • Sharing documents
  • Ask questions and post
  • communicate and collaborate between the course days

The Teams channel serves as a common arena for collaboration and professional support in the time leading up to the installer test.
