MEM40105 Certificate IV in Engineering (for Overseas Students) Classroom based - Full time Ashmore Course summary Ashmore : Classroom based - Full time International: $17,995.00 International course Careers: Mechanical Engineering Trades Worker Outcome: Certificate IV This course has twice yearly intakes - the next intake will be January 2015. Course details This qualification covers the skills and knowledge required for employment as a Higher Engineering Tradesperson or a Special Class Engineering Tradesperson - Level II within the metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries or at equivalent levels in other industries where Engineering Tradespersons work. There are opportunities to work in the manufacture of heavy machinery and building construction products. You can also work in mineral exploration and mining, or oil and gas drilling. Topics: Perform sheet and plate assembly Apply principles of occupational health and safety Assemble fabricated components Assist in the provision of on the job training Interpret technical drawing Perform advanced manual thermal cutting, gouging and shaping Perform advanced welding using gas metal arc welding process Perform advanced welding using manual metal arc welding process Perform routine gas tungsten arc welding Perform routine manual metal arc welding and oxy acetylene welding Perform welds to code standards using gas metal arc welding process Weld using flux core, gas metal, gas tungsten and manual metal arc welding process Work with others in a manufacturing, engineering or related environment. Career prospects: Graduates will be able to apply for trade recognition as a Special Class Engineering Tradesperson in Australia. Most Special Class Engineering Tradespersons work in the manufacturing, construction and mining industries. However, there is currently a high demand for these trades people in the oil and gas industry. Shortages for qualified tradespersons exist nationally and, there will be a high level of activity in those industries that employ tradespersons for several years. The qualification is nationally recognised. After attainment of Certificate IV, students can assume higher levels of study through the Diploma which opens up employment opportunities related to workshop supervisory, and management type positions. Hours of study: The course is delivered using a combination of face-to-face classroom instruction, simulated learning environment and compulsory vocational placement. The course is offered full-time over 2 years at Ashmore. Teaching-learning resources include: study guides, journals, textbooks, CDs, and DVDs. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) provides students an opportunity to have their current skills and competencies recognised. These skills and competencies may relate to units you are about to commence and as a result can exempt you from studying these units. However, there is a cost related to obtaining Recognition of Prior Learning. The process requires students to gather evidence confirming their competency. A content specialist will advise you in this task. Enquire if you think you qualify. If the education provider grants an overseas student RPL, it may impact on student visa conditions through a shortening of the student's course. For further details regarding entry requirements, please contact the International Student Centre on (+617) 5581 8398. Vocational Placement TAFE Queensland Gold Coast coordinates and sources vocational placement. The vocational placement component of the qualification will be offered at small, medium and large organisations on the Gold Coast. Assessment methods and tools include: oral tasks (interview questions), written tasks (workbook, recognition of prior learning, tests, assignments, examinations), group work and discussions (case studies, role plays), project (workplace research project), and simulated or workplace performance (practical demonstration with observation checklists). Assessment results recognise student achievement against each competency. Resources required: Included in the course fees are all learning materials (protective gear, Study Guide, assessment requirements, handouts, online resource lists, vocational placement diary/work book), and all material necessary to complete the qualification. Students need to have the following required stationery (calculator, metric tape measure, pencils, pens, paper, plastic sleeves for notes). Students need to have access to a computer, the Internet, and a personal email account. The Institute will provide access to: Computers - Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft Office Professional 2010, job-related software for teaching-learning, computer disk drive, and USB ports Learning environment: classrooms, tables, chairs, whiteboards, overhead projectors, flip sheets, TV/video recorder.
