Technician for electrical installations in the built environment (bbl)

You know everything about electrical installations in homes and buildings

Energy installations, ventilation systems, fire detection, alarm and data installations, home automation: such systems hold no secrets for you. As a technician, you install and maintain installations in the built environment. From start to finish. From simple to complex.

You create a plan, carry out tasks independently, or explain to technicians what to do. You are responsible for ensuring the work is done properly. You serve as a resource for technicians and the point of contact for clients. You are also an expert in assembly work and electrical engineering. At school and at work, you learn what is required in this field. You also learn how to manage people, supervise projects, and collaborate effectively. Communication skills receive a strong focus in this process. Thanks to your qualities, clients are satisfied with the work delivered!

You will receive lessons in the modern environment of Brainport Industries Campus.

The full training to become a technician of electrical installations in the built environment formally takes 3 years. We only offer the last 2 years of study for students who already have the necessary professional knowledge.
