Many electricians arrive from abroad with real skills in their hands — but without the NIBT (Swiss low-voltage installation standard), without the Swiss safety reflexes, without knowing the OIBT inspection process (OIBT = the Swiss Low-Voltage Electrical Installations Ordinance). The result: rework, defects, lost time, and a liability that weighs on the company. We bring them up to speed, from the standards to hands-on practice, so they are reliable on a Swiss site — fast.
Training in French — also possible in português and English, by a trainer who has made the same journey himself.
You know how to work, but here the standards change and you are afraid of getting it wrong or not being taken seriously. We give you the essentials of NIBT/OIBT through concrete cases: what really changes for you, on site, from Monday.
A recruit who is not yet up to Swiss standards means rework, defects at inspection, and your ESTI installation authorisation on the line for their work. We train your new recruits at the start — your team becomes reliable faster.
A one-off job in Switzerland with workers trained elsewhere? A Swiss standards briefing avoids a failed acceptance inspection — and a payment that keeps you waiting. We prepare your team before arrival — from here or from there.
In person at your premises, by live video call, or in lower-cost pre-recorded modules. We adapt to your pace and your budget.
Essential NIBT, Suva safety, the OIBT process and inspection, the most frequent defects, documentation. No theory for theory's sake: what is useful in the field.
Led by Sandrino Cotovio, electrical safety advisor with a federal diploma (Swiss "brevet fédéral") and ESTI-accredited inspection body. Fifteen years of inspections behind every example.
Good to know: the training brings your staff up to speed on Swiss standards. It does not replace the authorisation to install or to inspect, which rests with the company and is issued by ESTI (Swiss Federal Inspectorate for Heavy Current Installations) — it helps you work properly within that framework.
A checklist of the points where the gap between foreign standards and the NIBT costs the most. Go through it before sending someone into the field.
