Certificate IV in Engineering is the next step in the career of a Mechanical or Electrical trades person.
It covers specialised skills in specific technical areas, such as maintaining fluid power systems, condition monitoring along with reporting and analysis.
WHAT YOU GET
Trainers at the ready to answer all questions you might have about course content and assessment
Work anywhere! Have your qualifications recognised anywhere in Australia.
*once all course prerequisites have been met
With APT training you get hands-on experience working on real machines so that you get the full experience of working with hydraulic systems.
We also show you industry leading technology and equipment to make you work safer and more efficient.
APT AND YOUR JOURNEY
The certificate IV in Engineering is the next step in your career as a mechanical and electrical tradesperson.
Here at APT we are committed to your growth as a tradesperson and have learned that the best way for people to achieve their Cert IV is by going through a face to face program.
To take it to another level, when you are onsite (at our office in Toronto NSW) you are assigned to a trainer/ mentor for all of your practical components as well as to run your through the theoretical knowledge you need to excel as a fluid power expert.
They are there to help explain assessments and answer any questions you have face to face, so that you have as much chance as possible to succeed in the program.
All trainers have a strong background in hydraulics and fluid power and will be able to help pass their expert knowledge on to you.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
There are 3 entry pathways into the MEM40119 – Certificate IV in Engineering (Fluid Power):
1. Direct Entry – this is for students who have attained MEM30219 – Certificate 3 in Engineering – Mechanical Trade or MEM30319 – Certificate 3 in Engineering – Fabrication Trade. Generally this will be trades who completed their apprenticeship in the last 10 years.
Must have the following units included on their transcript, these units are pre-requisite for the units selected in our MEM40119 – Certificate 4 in Engineering (Fluid Power) Course:
- MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing
- MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements
- MEM18001 Use hand tools
- MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations
- MEM18003 Use tools for precision work
- MEM18006 Repair and fit engineering components
- MEM18055 Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components
2. Mechanical Trades with Previous Qualifications – will need to go through an Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process to complete the Cert 3 Level units
3. Other Trades – this is for other trades. This involves RPL for the Certificate3 level units prior to commencement in the Certificate 4 in Engineering
Before you begin, you will have the support of our trainers so that you are fully aware of the process prior to commencing.
