Instrument And Controls Blue And Yellow Equipment

Instrument & Controls

An instrument and controls technician can gain independent verification of their ability to assemble, install, remove and replace components, disassemble, test functionality and operability, maintain and repair instrumentation systems and their components with ECITB's regulated qualifications. ECITB's technical tests provide independent verification of a technicians technical ability to maintain, overhaul and condition control systems. Both are ideal ways to ensure that technicians have a good understanding of engineering theory, the functions of components within systems, and maintenance of systems to minimise the likelihood of failure.

ECITB verification has been developed in partnership with industry experts
