Certificate I or II Metal Engineering

With the new Metal and Automotive workshops now open, Daramalan College has seen the introduction of Metal Engineering.

It is intended to meet the needs of students who have a general interest in the metals and engineering industry trades/technology as well as those intending to choose a career pathway into the traditional trades and related service industries. (Materials for major projects may in some cases need to be funded by the individual student undertaking such projects).

Students must complete a structured work placement to achieve a Certificate II in Engineering. Students must supply and wear steel capped boots approved for a Metal Engineering workshop.
