Are you going to take the installer test on 10 March? Get support all the way
Prepare for the installer test on 10 March with NITO's preparation course in January. You will receive professional support before the test and free follow-up if you do not pass.
Prepare purposefully for the test
The course Preparatory course for the electrical installer test is conducted digitally on Teams 26–29 January, from 10:00 to 16:00, with voluntary group work from 16:00 to 18:00.
Through four course days, you work purposefully to prepare for the installer test, with professional guidance, practical task training and the opportunity for collaboration with other participants.
No shame in not passing on the first try
The electrical installer test is demanding, and even skilled professionals can experience not passing on the first try. Course instructor Håvard Løining is concerned that a result you are not satisfied with does not mean that the work has been wasted:
"There are many skilled professionals who do not pass the installer test on the first try. There is no shame in failing a demanding test. A review of the answer can make it clearer what went wrong, what the candidate should continue to work on and whether there may be grounds for appealing.
Extra support before and after the test
As a course participant, you will receive free support both before and after the test. Before the test, you will participate in a webinar with Thor Egil Johansen, advisor at Renewable Norway and responsible for the work with the Electrical Installer Test, where you will get information about the test itself, what is expected of the candidates, what candidates typically fail and examples of answers. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
Nor does the follow-up stop if the test does not go as you hope. If you do not pass, you will receive a free individual review of the test answer and the examiner's feedback with the course instructor. Together, you will look at strengths, areas for improvement and any complaints. If there are grounds for appealing, you will also receive help to assess and formulate the complaint.
Both the webinar and the follow-up after the test are included in the course price.
