The NATED N1-N6 Mechanical Engineering program encompasses levels N1-N6, offering a comprehensive understanding of Mechanical Engineering theory along with an elective practical element. Upon completing 24 months (2000 working hours) in your chosen field of study, you can earn a National Certificate or Diploma. The qualification comprises a mandatory component (N1-N6 theory) and two optional practical components: a beginner’s level (undertaken between N1-N3) and an advanced level (completed between N4-N6). Practical sessions are exclusively available at the Pretoria campus.

Admission Requirements

To enter N4, you need either a Matric/Grade 12 with at least 40% in math and science or an N3 pass with math and science. Remember, you can move to the next level only after finishing the current one successfully, like going from N4 to N5.

National Certificate

Upon passing all external department exams, the student will be awarded a national certificate by the Department of Education. Please note that this certificate is not issued by us but solely by the Department of Education.

National Diploma

Gain practical experience by working in the Mechanical engineering industry for 24 months (2 years), focusing on at least two subjects covered in N6. Afterward, submit an application for a National Diploma at the campus where you completed your studies.
