NC MECHENICAL ENGINEERING

COURSE OUTLINE:

PURPOSE OF THIS QUALIFICATION

This part qualification is aimed primarily at giving the learner technical, theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge and workplace knowledge and skills required in their chosen occupational/vocational area. The design of the part qualification is such that if taken sequentially with related N part courses i.e. N4+N5+N6, it enables learners to progressively obtain the National N Diploma once the required practical work component of either 18 months or two years, as required for the specific occupational area, is completed.

 The Mechanical Engineering programme involve the design and development of machinery, ranging from simple mechanism up to more complex machines .The  process of Mechanical Engineering includes the planning and designing of these structure, as well as operating and maintaining them. National N Diploma in Mechanical Engineering of N4-N6 learners have to complete an in-service training for 18 months. Learners will receive a National Certificate at each level. All examinations are administered by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET)
