NIV course: How to get your follow-up permit

Are you familiar with the Ordinance on Low-Voltage Electrical Installations, or NIV for short, and would you like to apply this knowledge professionally? Or are you particularly interested in the field of electrics and electricity, so that you could imagine gaining a professional foothold in this area? Would you also like to have more to do with the Low Voltage Installation Ordinance in your job and carry out electrical installations on a wide variety of buildings and systems? If you want to work with electricity and low voltage, you need to learn exactly what the NIV 15 regulates and specifies during your training.

During your training as an electrician, electrical fitter, electrical draughtsman or a related profession, you will learn in detail which measures are regulated by the NIV and to which areas they apply. What type of installations does the ordinance apply to? What exactly are electrical installations? What safety requirements must be taken into account? Who receives an installation permit in the first place? What training and further training must you have in order to carry out installation work as a competent person? Which installation work does not require a permit? These and many other questions are answered in detail in the NIV, which serves as a guide for your work.

Would you like to work professionally with electrical installations and undergo training or further training in this area? Are you interested in the NIV, Switzerland's low-voltage installation ordinance, and want to learn more about it? The following content will be taught to you during a course:

  • Introduction to electrical engineering
  • Safety when handling electricity
  • Rights, standards, obligations and regulations
  • Connecting devices, pumps, appliances, motors, lights, etc.
  • Material science
  • Practical measurement exercises
  • Logging and final inspection

There are a variety of training courses in this area that you can choose from depending on your preferences, career goals and previous training. For example, you can take a higher specialist examination to become an electrician, also known as a master craftsman's examination. Or perhaps attend a degree course in energy electrical engineering. Or how about an apprenticeship as an electrician? Or a NIV 15 low-voltage connection permit certificate? Here at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch you will find lots of information on training and further education opportunities relating to NIV, electrics, electronics, energy and much more.

Participation in the examination for the Low Voltage Installation Ordinance 14 does not necessarily require training as a solar technician HFA, but can also be sought by persons with a Federal VET Diploma in a related profession (electronics, IT, multimedia electronics, network electronics, automotive mechatronics, vehicle electrical electronics, heating installation, refrigeration installation, ventilation system construction, sanitary installation or a Federal Professional Examination or Advanced Federal Professional Examination AFPE) with an electrical engineering component. However, examination candidates must also have at least three years of professional experience in solar technology under the supervision of an NIV 14 license holder and have demonstrably completed at least 42 lessons of electrical engineering training.

Refresher courses, also known as refresher courses, are continuing education, further training courses prescribed by the Federal Inspectorate for Heavy Current Installations for NIV license holders, which must include at least one day every two years. These courses are therefore also offered with a duration of one day (eight lessons).

A course on the Low Voltage Installation Ordinance NIV prepares you for the examination by the ESTI, the Swiss Federal Inspectorate for Heavy Current Installations, which is mandatory for obtaining a license.

Janitors, janitors, service technicians, fitters and maintenance personnel who wish to replace or connect permanently installed electrical products require a permit in accordance with Article NIV 15.
