Mechanical Eng

Categories: Engineering, mechanical

This qualification is aimed primarily at giving the learner technical, theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge and workplace knowledge and skills required in their chosen occupational/vocational area. The design of the qualification is such that if taken sequentially with related N courses i.e. N3+N4+N5+N6, it enables learners to progressively obtain the National N Diploma.

Admission Requirements

N2: Engineering Studies, or a Grade 11, or a Senior Certificate, or NSC with Mathematics.

Career fields

Once you have completed National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering N6 at Central Technical College, you will be equipped to apply for the following jobs:

Mechanical Engineer
Design Engineer
Materials Scientist
Draughtsman
Fabricator
Process Controller / Technician
