National Certificate: Engineering Studies N1 - N3

This exciting, modern and relevant programme of study is for students who want to complete a specialised qualification as an artisan. The programme is a skills, quality and knowledge-based programme and is in line with the theoretical requirements laid down by the Department of Education for any person who needs to complete the theoretical component of this trade.

The programme aims to equip you with the necessary theoretical requirements laid down by MERSETA. Together with the practical component of 85 weeks on-the-job training (which must be completed with a registered provider), you can then apply to write your trade test. Once you have completed this qualification you are able to follow the route to becoming an engineer.

This requires additional subjects and registrations with the relevant bodies involved. This will then empower you to make a positive contribution to the country's economy, productivity and the development of new technology.
