The Certificate II in Engineering Studies is a two year course.
The aim of this course is to provide pre-employment training and a pathway into the engineering, manufacturing or related industries. It equips students with comprehensive skills and knowledge to work in steel and metal industries by introducing computer use in relation to engineering work, use of hand and power tools, engineering science, fabrication techniques and quality concepts.
Students who satisfactorily complete the VET Engineering Studies Certificate II program will receive the certificate qualification. They can then complete the Certificate IV qualification at GOTAFE if they choose.
It also provides:
• knowledge of a range of occupations at engineering trade level enabling graduates to make informed choices in the selection of vocational career paths
• knowledge of advanced manufacturing and engineering technologies
• social and interpersonal skills relevant to participation in the engineering industry by integrating general competencies as part of the course curriculum
