Automotive encompasses everything relating to motor vehicles from design and development to marketing and maintenance. 

 

In an automotive course, you will be exposed to the latest technology and devices used in the testing and diagnosis of motor vehicles. You will be trained in the areas of vehicle care and maintenance, graphic communication and computer-aided design (CAD), vehicle electrical systems, welding, service centre management, electrical and electronic systems etc. 

 

You will also have the opportunity to take subjects that will help you develop your communication skills, interpersonal skills and computer knowledge that will enhance your ability to deal with customers and manage a business.

 

Construction projects have become more complex throughout the years, requiring supervisors to keep track of progress, manage details and resolve on-site problems at various stages.

 

A construction technology course will give you a clear idea of how a construction project is implemented from the ground up. You will be taught knowledge and skills that are applicable in the construction field such as site inspection, quality and cost control, building codes and standards, draughting, blueprint reading, construction techniques, project management and construction site management. In addition, you will learn how to maintain and preserve existing architecture.

 

A draughtsperson is someone who makes technical drawings either by hand or with the help of CAD software to illustrate what a building or product will look like when it’s completed.

 

Draughtsmanship is often associated with the civil engineering and built environment fields. However, the area of work covers various other specialisations from electrical and mechanical engineering, plumbing to automotive and telecommunication fields.

 

Besides producing drawings, a draughtsman is also responsible for updating the drawings when changes are made, and assisting in design.

 

You will be trained to produce complex and accurate, working drawings of structures and machines, Additionally, you will also study model construction, rendering techniques and blueprint reading.

 

An electrical technology course will prepare you with the skills and know-how required to diagnose and repair electrical and electronic problems, as well as install and maintain electrical systems.

 

You will learn about electrical engineering and electronics technology, computer security systems, industrial and domestic installation, motor controls, wiring methods, programmable logic controller (PLC) systems, equipment maintenance etc. Some courses will also include training in design software such as AutoCAD.

 

Usually when you think of ceramics, you think of dishes, vases and tooth fillings. However, industrial ceramics have special properties that make them more durable and resistant to heat, cold and electricity. These ceramics are used in construction, in plumbing systems and even to create vehicle and machinery parts.

 

This course will give you a clear understanding of the different types of ceramics and expose you to the various techniques used in the manufacturing of ceramics, and the development of new uses for ceramic products. On top of that, you will learn about computer technologies that are used in the ceramic industry and how to manage a business. You will also acquire knowledge in new breakthroughs and technology in ceramics, and learn design, model making and technical drawing skills.

 

Integrated manufacturing technology is the use of machinery to streamline manufacturing processes in order to increase efficiency and quality, and to reduce manual labour.

 

This course combines the fields of automation and manufacturing. You will learn how to operate computer numeric control (CNC) and electrical discharge machining (EDM) machinery, programmable logic controllers, micro-processing, pneumatics and power transfer mechanism. Apart from that, you will also learn about design, prototype building and manufacturing with the use of computer software, and new technologies and digital systems.
