ENGINEERING STUDIES N1-N3

Different Engineering Fields in N1-N3

 

Engineering Studies are grouped into the following broad categories. Please note that these are not exhaustive as they are many different engineering studies.

How does Studying with Ekurhuleni Technical College work

Studying with us is one of a journey we promise to be worthwhile as we put you in the centre of everything to ensure you obtain your certificate. While we fully understand that studying present its own challenges and students at times get that mental block making difficult to pass a certain subject-as Ekurhuleni Technical College (ET College) we give students enough time to re-write the subjects.

 

Missing it once is therefore not fatal-we call it a simple trial phase knowing you are still going the do it again. This then assist you as our student to re-write your subjects with no extra new fees but only your exam fee payable for every subject you might choose to write again.

 

Requirements to study engineering courses with ET College

Engineering courses require that students:

  • Have a background of Mathematics, Physics/Physical Science and Drawing-if you do not have it, do not worry you can still study Engineering from N1
  • Students must have an interest in the engineering field with a desire to pursue a career in such. The passion will help you overcome the challenge to give up when things become steep.
  • Ability to be self disciplined as our courses are done through home study or distance learning.

What Is A National Certificate In N1-N3 Engineering Courses (Nated courses)

 

A National Certificate in N1-N3 Engineering Studies (also referred to as Nated courses) is a qualification that is obtained by passing four subjects in the related fields which include one of the following: Electrical Engineering Light Current (Instrumentation and Communication), Electrical Engineering Heavy Current, Motor-Petrol, Mechanical Engineering -Fitting and Turning, Boilermarking, Welding, Millwright and Civil Engineering.

The National Certificate in N1-N3 Engineering Courses is offered by the Department of Higher Edcuation and Training and Umalusi which are the regulatory bodies.

 

How to obtain a qualification in N1-N3 Engineering Courses

 

To obtain a qualification is N1-N3 Nated courses you need to pass four subjects and you will obtain a National N-certificate. For example to obtain a qualification in Electrical Engineering N2 Heavy current called National N2 Certificate in Electrical Engineering you need to pass four subjects from the following list of subjects which include:

  • Mathematics N2
  • Engineering Science N2
  • Industrial Electronics N2
  • Electrical Trade Theory N2
  • Refrigeration N2

The N-qualification means that you are then able to continue to your next level.

How to qualify for a Trade Test

 

In order to qualify for a Trade Test, one of the main requirements is to obtain an N2 certificate in the relevant field. For example, to write a Trade Test as part of qualification in being a Electrician, you need to obtain your N2 certificate under Electrical Engineering.

Ways of obtaining your N1-N3 certificate

 

Exams are written three times in a year which is March/April, July/August and November exams. The student can choose to write some of the subjects or all in once sitting. If time is a constraint or if you do not want to overload yourself, you can choose to write say two subjects at a time in every trimester and then combine the subjects to obtain your N-certificate.
