How Do I Know Which Course To Study?
Different courses prepare you for different types of mechanical engineering jobs. This means that before you decide which course to study, you need to decide what type of work you’d like to do.
If you’d like to work as an artisan/technician (e.g. motor mechanic, millwright, boilermaker, or fitter and turner), then completing your N1 – N3 qualifications is a good place to start.
If you want to work as a professional mechanical engineer, however, you will need to complete at least a relevant undergraduate engineering degree. For many positions, you may even be required to hold a master’s degree.
