Can you give us a list of the companies offering this training that you have found so far? I'm not familar with such training, beyond IT training and certification.

Also, what languages do you speak? Taking a training class in Asia would not seem to be a good match unless you speak fluent Japanese and/or Chinese...
 
Hi @berkeman
Thank you for your reply. I have been searching and really need guidance on this ,here are a couple i have found so far
> Siemens
>ISA
In Software, there are intensive bootcamps on specific technology areas and I wanted to see if there are similar programs in the areas i mentioned. My ultimate plan is to set up a company with specialized service in some of the above areas. I do not speak other languages and I mentioned Asia assuming some sort of international program in English.
 
Here in the UK I think it takes at least 6 months to become a basic qualified Electrician and I think extra courses would be required to learn how to install data networks.

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
