I have enrolled into the Certificate IV in Engineering Bendigo TAFE Feb 2019
The Certificate IV in Engineering allows students to develop skills to advance to positions of responsibility in manufacturing industries.

  • Interpret technical drawing
  • Perform routine gas metal arc welding
  • Apply principles of occupational health and safety in the work environment
  • Use power tools/hand held operations
  • Perform manual heating and thermal cutting
  • Perform routine gas tungsten arc welding
  • Perform routine manual metal arc welding
  • Select welding processes
  • Apply safe welding practices
  • Use hand tools
  • Perform engineering measurements
  • Carry out mechanical cutting
Further study opportunities:

This certificate leads to foreman, leading hand or estimator roles, and to welding certification from Weld Australia.

From January 2019, this course will be offered free of tuition fees for eligible students under the Victorian government's Free TAFE for Priority Courses program, designed to reduce the financial barrier for students wanting to train in courses that lead to jobs in demand from Victorian employers. The State Government will cover the full cost of your tuition fees for this course, saving me thousands of dollars.
