Why get a Certificate III in Engineering Mechanical Trade?
A Certificate III in Engineering — Mechanical Trade (MEM30219) gives you the knowledge and hands-on experience to take your career to the next level. Your certification is recognised Australia wide and understood globally, giving you endless opportunities to work and travel in a number of different roles.
Engineering Mechanical Trade jobs are in high demand in Australia. In fact, many roles (including that of a fitter and turner) are in such high demand, the Australian Government offers ‘Occupations in Demand’ through the skilled migration program to fill the shortage of workers.
These are just some of the career possibilities you will have with your Certificate III in Engineering Mechanical Trade:
- Fitter & Turner
- Maintenance Mechanic / Motor Mechanic
- Mechanical Fitter
- Metal Fabricator
- Machining.
What will I learn in a Certificate 3 in Engineering Mechanical Trade?
A Certificate 3 in Engineering — Mechanical Trade with the Outsource Institute gives you hands-on learnings in a range of mechanical trade work, including assembly, fitting, manufacturing, testing, fault finding, service of mechanical equipment, use of machine tools and so much more. You’ll be guided by trainers who have worked in the engineering trade for many years, giving you the support you need to feel confident in carrying out your job in your next position.
As a nationally recognised certification and understood globally, you can take what you learn in your certificate course and apply it in a range of engineering mechanical roles. Our partnerships and collaborations give you information and access to technology currently being used, meaning you’re ready to grow your career on completion.
One of the most important skills you’ll learn in your Certificate 3 in Engineering — Mechanical Trade (MEM30219) is the self-management of your skills, knowledge and safety standards. This course will show you how to check equipment, tools and and your work is performing as it should and safe to use. It will allow you to enter new roles able to work independently, as well as safely and effectively in a team.
