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.
