Course Overview

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we have adapted our course delivery to now encompass a combination of remote and flexible delivery methods. This includes easy to navigate online tutorials, video conferencing (classroom simulation) as well as face-to-face practical assessments and work placements – where safe and practical to implement. Therefore, you will require access to the internet and a computer to undertake this course.

Our flexible model allows you to continue to study in a safe, guided and fully supported manner with continued access to all learning, personal and wellbeing supports.

You will be advised by your facilitator on a case by case basis in relation to practical and work placement assessments, as some flexibility will be required during this challenging time.

Our Certificate II in Engineering Pathways is the ideal prevocational course if you are looking to engineer the perfect career and gain valuable knowledge of the engineering industry.

With a high industry demand for people skilled in welding, fitting & machining, CAD drafting, you could find work in a wide range of industries like Construction and General Engineering, Manufacturing and Maintenance Fitting – working close to home, interstate or internationally.

With our nationally accredited Certificate II in Engineering Pathways (MEM20413) course, you will gain hands on practical experience, work skills and a broad understanding of engineering competencies, enabling you to make a better informed choice in the selection of engineering career paths.

Here are just a few things that you will learn how to:

  • Read basic technical/CAD drawings
  • Produce a range of items using hand and powered tools
  • Use complex equipment like drills, lathes and milling machines 
  • Pull apart and reassemble engineering mechanisms
  • Operate Fabrication equipment like presses, rollers, folders, guillotine and plasma cutters
  • Use a variety of Electric Welders (Mig, Arc & Tig)
  • Use Oxy welding/cutting equipment

The Certificate II in Engineering Pathways (MEM20413) is a full-time course spanning 15 weeks. We also offer a part time option that runs over 9 months and both are offered at our Broadmeadows and Richmond campuses within our dedicated training facilities, comprising new and modern machinery, ensuring what you learn on campus reflects industry standards.

With our Certificate II in Engineering Pathways (MEM20413) under your belt, you can choose from the following career options:

  • undertake a work-based apprenticeship
  • gain entry level employment in engineering or related industries

Our course experts will be more than happy to answer any questions you have about our engineering courses.
