Overview
The Certificate IV in Engineering - Welding pathway stream is a post-trade course designed to provide you with a greater trade base and develop post-trade level skills in welding related to trade work as a Higher Engineering Tradesperson or a Special Class Engineering Tradesperson - Level II in the Fabrication trade.
Career opportunities, include:
- certified welder
- coded welder
Pathways to further study:
- MEM50105 Diploma of Engineering Advanced Trade
Studying the Certificate IV in Engineering at Holmesglen
This course covers higher level post-trade skills such as intermediate ARC, MIG, TIG welding techniques and advanced skills to become a certified coded welder.
The course gives you the necessary skills to advanced your career in the fabrication trade and move into leadership roles within the metal, engineering, manufacturing industries or other industries where Engineering Tradespersons work.
Completing particular units of competency in the course can provide you with necessary skills to undertake one or more of the Welding Certification exams conducted by WA and apply your skills immediately in the Industry as you work towards completing the qualification.
Manufacturing and engineering is currently the largest employment sector in Australia. Currently, employer demand for engineering graduates is high, with over a third of all job vacancies related to the field.
