Studying the Certificate IV in Engineering at Holmesglen

The program is delivered on campus in a simulated environment, combining theory with practical, hands-on training and assessment, along with some online self-study for added flexibility. This Fabrication and AutoCAD stream covers advanced fabrication and welding tasks, including higher-level welding in key disciplines, while teaching fundamental skills in 2D/3D AutoCAD tools for engineering applications. You will also explore the fabrication of structures and assemblies, sheet metal work, and the use of relevant machinery, equipment, and joining techniques. This training will prepare you for higher-level roles in the metals industry, post-trade, and related areas.<p>You’ll receive expert support throughout the program to help you build a solid trade base and develop post-trade level skills as an Engineering Tradesperson or Special Class Engineering Tradesperson (Level II) in the Fabrication trade.<p>The program is designed for individuals currently working in the industry or those with a trade qualification. With four intakes each year, it offers flexibility to suit your schedule.

Entry Requirements

To be eligible, students must be at least 18 years of age.<p>While there is no formal entry requirement, it is recommended that learners have already achieved a trade qualification in the industry or have at least 2 years industry experience.
Prior to enrolment or commencement of training you will be required to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment and a pre-training interview. These will assist with determining your suitability to the course, verify your training plan, and identify any learning support needs.
