perito elettrotecnico

13:06 Sep 1, 2008 

This is a title awarded after 5 years of study, typically from the age of 13 to the age of 18, equivalent in timing to the U.S. high school, but that prepares the student in the very specific fields of electricity and mechanics; a good "perito elettrotecnico", may be even better prepared than a poorly prepared electrical engineer who has attended University.

After completion of studies, a "perito elettrotecnico" may find jobs in the field, as (for example) maintenance or builder operator of electrical low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage installations and power distribution; also as a train pilot. A "perito elettrotecnico" is capable to understand and audit the work of an engineer of the same field.

The full description of this title, as it appears imprinted, is as follows:

"Perito industriale capotecnico. Specializzazione in elettrotecnica."

Regards and thanks to everybody.
