Introduction
This National Certificate Programme is delivered under the auspices of the Department of Higher Education and Training and quality assured by Umalusi. The Programme consists of 18 to 24 months theoretical studies at the College and 24 months relevant practical training (Internship training) in the work place.
The National Certificate: Electrical Engineering includes the N1 – N6 Certificates that enable students to work with heavy electrical currents (for electricity and domestic wiring, industrial and civil industries) and light electrical currents (such as used for required for digital and industrial electronics).
