How do I become a sky installer?

Gilly — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 00:33:25 GMT

Been looking at how to become a sky installer, maybe via an apprenticeship, but no luck in Findlay any information?

The careers pages initially on google comes up with a warning as the certificate is out of date?

thank you

@Gilly couple of points first is the forum is a customer-to--customer channel so you are not talking to. Sky by posting however this address https://careers.sky.com/earlycareers/apprenticeships loads on my system without issue.

Second point Sky announced a round of redundancies recently as reported here which largely affects their in-home engineers as they switch from providing satellite TV services. Therefore unless the careers site says differently I doubt they are hiring for engineering apprenticeships currently.

@Gilly

There are no such programmes listed on the careers website: as @Chrisee indicates, it's quite possible that Sky does not see a long term need for those particular skills.

Given the end of both satellite and terrestrial television broadcasting may well occur within this decade (or early in the next), I'd suggest investigating some other avenue: perhaps fibre optics?
