The Certificate IV in Engineering takes your trades career to the next level giving you additional training and specialist skills. You can select your units to match your current job role and future needs.
Employment outcomes related to this qualification are found in a wide variety of manufacturing and engineering related sectors as well as Higher Engineering Tradesperson or a Special Class Engineering Tradesperson - Level II related roles in other industries.
Further training pathways from this course include MEM50105 Diploma of Engineering - Advanced Trade.
Apprentices are signed up for 4 years however this package is competency based meaning some apprentices may complete in less time.
We prefer that students in this course are currently employed in a relevant role in an engineering environment or have previously completed the Certificate III in Engineering or possess sufficient workplace experience. You will need to provide your own safe footwear and appropriate clothing. All other personal protection equipment (PPE) is provided by SuniTAFE. You will need to be able to use a computer to create your assignments and carry out research. If you aren't confident in your basic IT skills you may like to consider building some of these skills before you apply. Each student will undertake a Pre-Training Review before enrolling to help confirm the proposed course is suitable. It will provide valuable information about an individual's existing skills and knowledge, language, literacy and numeracy skills and whether the course will help in achieving learning and/or employment goals.
