How to become an instrumentation fitter?

Depending on the state, you may not need a degree to work as an instrumentation fitter. However, an associate degree in industrial instrumentation or electronics can set you apart from the crowd. Most employers require you to go through an apprenticeship under the guidance of an experienced fitter. This experience can get you licensed as a journeyman in the field. Some employers may also require you to attend a vocational school to receive a certificate in electronics or a related field. To work on your own, you need at least two years of experience. Other qualifications include strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, a team mentality, and the ability to read diagrams.
