Why study Cert III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade?

This certification outlines the abilities and expertise needed for fabrication work in the metal, engineering, manufacturing, and related areas. The qualification was especially created to satisfy the requirements of apprentices in the aforementioned trade.

A formal trade recognition evaluation process or a training contract are required to complete this qualification.

The knowledge and abilities required for this qualification are meant to be used in a variety of fabrication tasks, such as metal fabrication, the erection of structural steel, sheet metal work, welding, blacksmithing, and surface finishing.

An industry-recognized skills profile for work as an Engineering Tradesperson – Fabrication is intended to be provided by this certification.

In some cases, proof of a candidate’s performance in a working environment with a wide enough variety of suitable tasks and resources to cover the spectrum of application of those units must be included in the assessment of that competency. All results must accurately reflect the level of performance required by the employer.

At the time of publication, there were no criteria for this qualification in terms of licensure, legislation, or certification. Units in this certification may, however, in some jurisdictions be related to licensing or regulatory requirements. Local regulations should be checked.
