Ashtar Trade Test Technical Training Centre, Multan

Ashtar Trade Test & Technical Training Centre is a technical training institute in Multan, Pakistan, founded in 2021 by Shahid Abbas. It is a well-known training centre for welding, electrical work, pipe fitting and fabrication, mechanical fitting, HSE and civil surveying, and it prepares workers for trade tests and jobs in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman.

Its purpose is simple: take a young person or a working tradesman, teach them a trade properly, prepare them for the trade test, and help them reach a real job abroad. That is the whole model of the centre, and it is why so many of its students come from Multan and from across Southern Punjab.

Practical training in real trades

Training at Ashtar is practical first. Students work with the tools, machines and materials of their trade, not just with books. A welding student welds. A pipe fitter cuts, fits and joins pipe. An electrician wires circuits. A surveyor works with surveying instruments. The aim is that by the time a student finishes, they can do the job on a real site, not just describe it.

The trades taught at the centre are the ones Gulf employers recruit for in large numbers:

• 6G Welding — SMAW, TIG and MIG welding, including the 6G fixed-position pipe test.
• Electrician / Industrial Electrician — wiring, installation and industrial electrical work.
• Pipe Fitter and Pipe Fabricator — pipework fitting and fabrication to drawing and specification.
• Mechanical Fitter — fitting, assembly and maintenance of mechanical equipment.
• Civil Surveyor — surveying skills for construction work.
• Safety Officer (HSE) — health, safety and environment practice for industrial sites.
• Plumber, Steel Fixer, Shuttering Carpenter, Mason — core construction trades.

Instructors teach from trade practice, correct mistakes directly, and repeat the work until it meets the standard employers expect. That is what a trade test measures, and that is what the training is built around.

Trade-test preparation

For many students, the trade test is the whole point of coming to Ashtar. It is the practical exam Gulf employers or manpower agencies use to decide whether a worker is good enough for the job. The worker is asked to perform a real task — a weld, a fitting job, an electrical installation — and the result decides the job offer.

Beginners build up to test standard step by step. Experienced workers come to sharpen a specific skill, practise the test task, and walk in ready. Either way, the preparation is focused on the test itself, not on theory alone.

Training for Gulf jobs

The centre’s training is aimed squarely at overseas employment in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman. Courses are built around the trades those countries hire in volume: welding, pipe fitting and fabrication, electrical work, mechanical fitting, construction trades, surveying and safety.

Ashtar’s website also provides a free Huroob Check tool, which lets workers check their iqama or border number status, and its overseas training page explains how trade-test preparation connects to Gulf employment. For many workers, this is the first step toward a job abroad, and the centre’s role is to make that step practical and honest.

Who the centre is for

Ashtar’s courses suit school leavers who want a trade rather than a long academic route, workers already in a trade who want to improve their skills or pass a trade test, and experienced workers preparing to go abroad. They also suit people who have worked in the Gulf before and need to refresh a skill or pass a new test.

Students come from Multan and from across Southern Punjab, including Bahawalpur, Khanewal and Dera Ghazi Khan. The centre is based on Usman Ghani Road, near Brite Hall School, Multan, so it is easy to reach from the city and the surrounding districts.
