Take your engineering interests to the next level. 

In our  Certificate IV in Engineering you will learn:

• Manufacturing engineering:  How to fabricate products to industry standards
• Computer Numerical Control (CNC): For brake pressing, rolling, plasmacutting
• What's behind Rapid Manufacturing, or 'prototyping'
• Certificate welding, 1-10 (including Supervisor's and Inspector's courses)

This leading-edge, current technology focused course provides offers an opportunity for tradespeople to upgrade their qualifications, and entry into technician positions in industry. It also provides a pathway into technician and engineering associate qualifications - namely the Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology, or the Bachelor of Engineering.
