Fitter is an assembling structural framework vocational trade. The duration of trade is two years with four semesters of six months each. There are many things/aspects students learn during course such as fitting and assembling structural frameworks and housings from materials like angle iron, I-beams, and plate steel, using hand-tools and welding equipment and following blueprint specifications: examines blueprints and materials list to obtain parts specifications, etc. The trade is very good from job point of view as it opens many options for self-employment on one hand and further studies options on other hand. There are so many ITIs and other institutes offering trade.
Syllabus of Fitter trade as prescribed by various ITIs.
