When you complete the Diploma of Engineering Technology, you’ll have specialist skills that are highly valued by employers in the manufacturing and engineering industries. During the course, you’ll learn more about design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of mechanical equipment and systems; computer numerical control (CNC) programming; computer-aided drafting (CAD) techniques; machining processes; mathematical and scientific principles; welding techniques; and workplace safety. Experienced teachers, who are experts in the field, will guide you through the program, which involves a combination of theory and practice. This nationally recognised qualification may lead to employment in roles such as CAD draftsman, programmable logic control (PLC) programmer or production technician. Once complete, this qualification will guarantee you a place in Chisholm’s Bachelor of Engineering Technology (V14217). You will be able to gain credit equivalent to one year of study, which means you’ll complete your degree sooner.
