What Mechanical Draughting Has in Store

If you’re a hands-on, practical person who is always trying to take things apart to figure out how they work, then you’ll be a great fit in the world of mechanical engineering. Open the door to this fascinating field through our mechanical draughting course, which has been developed with industry professionals in order to maintain high standards and produce employable students.

Mechanical Engineering covers the design, manufacture, and maintenance of a wide range of Industrial appliances. Students can study towards their National N1 – N3 Certificates in Mechanical Engineering part time or full time.

Purpose: To introduce students to the field of mechanical engineering, and to equip them with solid draughting skills that are specifically suited to this field.

A qualified learner will be able to: Draught mechanical drawings that render workable appliances, car parts, and machinery.

Selection Procedure: Proof of the above qualifications/reference and interview to confirm suitability, aptitude and experience.

“I can never satisfy myself until I can make a mechanical model of a thing. If I can make a mechanical model, I can understand it.”

– Lord Kelvin
