Learn the basic skills of engineering with a Certificate II in Engineering Pathways. An entry-level engineering course will take you closer to employment and increase your chances of securing an apprenticeship.
You’ll learn basic workshop skills without needing to complete an entire apprenticeship, like how to operate tools and equipment, basic welding skills as well as improving your communication skills.
Taught over an 4-month period, you’ll work closely with our expert teachers who will guide and support you through your learning. And what’s even better is this course is hands-on, so you’ll be practicing your new skills as soon as you learn them, increasing your confidence when it comes to the workforce.
When you complete this course, there are a number of employment opportunities open to you. You could work in engineering jobs like sheet metal fabrication, Boilermaking, fitting and turning, electrical fitting, and so much more.
You might even choose to take your studies further by completing a Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade, a Certificate III in Engineering - Mechanical Trade, or a Certificate IV in Engineering - Fabrication (Perform Welding Supervision).
All these courses are designed to increase your employment opportunities by gaining expert skills and knowledge in a field you’re passionate about. We’ll be here to walk you through your options when, and if, the time comes.
So, if you’re looking to get a head start in the engineering field and want to master the basic skills of the trade, a Certificate II in Engineering Pathways will set you on your way to a rewarding and successful career.
