BET is a training provider
for the electrical contracting
industry. We manage apprenticeships
for a wide range of electrical
contractors and provide
on site assessment and
“off the job”
training at our own purpose
built centre or at a local
college on a block release
basis.
Once BET has received
your application form
and pre-interview questionnaire,
providing you are successful
at this stage, we will
arrange an initial assessment
consisting of a key skills
diagnostic and colour
vision test (certain levels
of colour blindness may
render you ineligible
for the electrical industry).
If you are successful
at this stage you will
be invited to attend an
interview with one of
our technically qualified
training officers.
Once you have satisfied
the BET requirements,
you will need to find
employment with a BET
client company. BET can
assist you in doing this,
however you need to be
pro-active in securing
a job, as you must have
employed status prior
to commencing your apprenticeship.

training please contact
