MECHANICAL ENGINEERING N1-N6
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING N1-N6
Mechanical Engineering N1-N6 is a Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) qualification which can be obtained by passing subjects relevant to mechanical engineering.
There are many career fields one can venture into after obtaining your Mechanical Engineering N1-N6. The time to complete the study ranges from two years and above. The requirement for each level is to pass relevant four subjects under Mechanical Engineering. There is a certificate for each and every level, for example after passing four subjects in N1 Mechanical Engineering; you will receive your N1 certificate and so on.
After finishing your N6 qualification and obtaining relevant experience, you will be awarded a diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
