National N Diploma: Mechanical Engineering N4-­‐N6

Qualification: NatNDipMechEng (DHET)
QCTO NATED/16/0207 (DHET NO.: 0599992549) N4-N6 SAQA ID 90674

TYPE OF PROGRAMME: FULL TIME & PART TIME

*All examinations are administered by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET)

Description

The Mechanical Engineering programme involves the design and development of machinery, ranging from simple mechanisms up to more complex machines. The process of Mechanical Engineering includes the planning and designing of these structures, as well as operating and maintaining them. Mechanical Engineers use an understanding of core concepts such as Kinetics and thermodynamics (application of heat and mechanical power) to create and analyze a wide variety of machines and processes.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

  • Grade 12(NSC) or Senior Certificate, with related subjects and a 40% pass or
  • N3 equivalent qualification. (with mathematics and science)

FULL-TIME DURATION

12 months

CERTIFICATION

  • Certificate and diploma are issued by the Department of Higher Education and Training
  • All qualifications are nationally recognized by industry and universities

Upon successful completion of this programme, learners will receive a:

  • National Certificate at each level N4, N5, N6 (NQF4-6)
  • National N Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (on completion of N4-N6 and 18 months in-service training)

CAREER PATHWAY

With this qualification, successful learners could pursue a career as a:

  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Design Engineer
  • Material Scientist
  • Draughtsman
  • Fabricator
  • Process Controller/ Technician
