How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
Put your registration category (IE, MIE or single-phase tester) and registration number right under your name on the CV.
