Trade Testing

Trade Testing & Certification

Certified Vetting Process

Skills proven on the test floor, not on paper.

Every tradesperson EBIT deploys abroad completes a structured 2–6 week assessment covering practical skill, safety, trade theory and work readiness. Employers receive a documented merit profile for each worker, so the person who arrives on site is exactly the person they approved.

Who It's For

One Process, Two Kinds of Confidence

For Employers

Hire with evidence, not promises

Whether you need ten welders for a refinery shutdown or a full crew for a construction package, every candidate is tested against your specification before selection.

  • Tests built around your job description, equipment and codes
  • Witness testing on site or by live video, at your choice
  • Merit profile, test photos and videos for every candidate
  • Documents and medical fitness verified before shortlisting
  • Backed in writing by the €25,000 per-worker guarantee
For Candidates

Turn your experience into a certified profile

A recognised EBIT certificate shows employers abroad what you can do. You get clear feedback and, if you fall short, a path to try again.

  • A personal schedule and assessing officer from day one
  • Safety training employers in the Gulf and Europe expect
  • Written feedback on every module, not just pass or fail
  • Targeted retraining if any module needs more work
  • Your certificate and progress visible in your worker portal
The Process

Four Phases From Arrival to Certification

01
Week 1

Arrival, Verification & Orientation

Candidates register at the EBIT testing facility, documents are checked against originals and identity is confirmed. Each candidate is briefed on the assessment framework, meets their assessing officer and receives a personal schedule covering every module.

02
Week 2

Trade Theory & Safety Compliance

Written and oral assessment of trade theory, drawing and symbol reading, tools and materials. Safety carries equal weight: PPE, hazard identification, permit-to-work, working at height, fire safety and first aid, aligned with the site rules of the destination country.

03
Weeks 3–4

Practical Trade Testing

Hands-on tasks under supervision, set to the employer's specification: welders complete test coupons with visual and bend testing, electricians wire, terminate and fault-find, plumbers and pipe fitters pressure-test joints, and operators demonstrate machine control and load safety.

04
Weeks 5–6

Merit Review & Certification

Theory, safety and practical scores are consolidated into a merit profile and reviewed by a certification panel. Successful candidates receive an EBIT Trade Certificate with their grade; anyone who falls short is offered targeted retraining and is not put forward until they meet the standard.

What We Assess

Six Areas Every Certificate Covers

Practical Skill

Quality, accuracy and speed on real trade tasks, judged against the employer's specification and recognised industry practice.

Health, Safety & Environment

Safe working habits, PPE discipline, hazard awareness and emergency response — the area employers abroad check first.

Trade Theory & Drawings

Understanding of materials, methods, measurements and technical drawings, so instructions on site are followed correctly.

Tools & Equipment

Correct selection, set-up, use and care of hand tools, power tools and machinery for the trade.

Communication & Work Readiness

Basic site English, understanding of supervisor instructions, punctuality, teamwork and attitude to the job.

FAQ

Questions We Are Often Asked

How long does trade testing take?

Between two and six weeks, depending on the trade, the number of modules the employer requires and whether any retraining is needed. Your personal schedule is confirmed in the first week.

What do I need to bring?

Your CNIC and passport, educational and trade certificates, experience letters and any existing licences. We will tell you in advance if your destination needs anything else, such as a police character certificate or medical report.

What happens if I do not pass a module?

You receive written feedback showing exactly where you fell short. We offer targeted retraining for that module and a re-test. Candidates are only put forward to employers once they meet the standard.

Can employers watch the tests?

Yes. Employers or their representatives can witness tests at our facility or join by live video, and they receive photos, videos and the full merit profile for every shortlisted candidate.

Are there any fees for candidates?

Any charges are explained to you in writing before you start and are only charged as permitted under Pakistan's emigration laws, against an official receipt. Never pay anyone in cash or into a personal account in EBIT's name.
