Certificate IV in Engineering Drafting

With this qualification, you can plan on a career across the mechanical and manufacturing sectors, or you may choose to use this as part of your pathway towards higher qualifications.You will learn to produce specialist engineering drawings to meet the needs of drafting in mechanical and machine construction and maintenance, steel fabrication and other fabrication services and assembly, mechanical and electrical services, fluid power, piping assembly and civil design.

This program will suit school leavers, mature students returning to work or study as well as those with some experience who are looking to build on their skills.

It is also available as a traineeship for students in employment with a training agreement.You will have the opportunity to learn skills including to produce schematic drawings, create 3D models and to calculate stresses and force systems, among many more.
