Location
Our classes will take place at our Brisbane Campus at Suite 6, 28 Old Cleveland Road, Stones Corner, Brisbane, QLD.
Remote Classes in Sydney take place at 46 Edward Street, Summer Hill (subject to confirmation).
For other locations, please Contact us. We are available to take our training to where is needed (conditions apply - a minimum number of students is needed for remote classes).
This course covers fundamental topics like engineering materials, sustainability, maths, electrical circuits, basic programming and Autocad and adds to those more advanced mechatronic concepts. Those will include advanced maths, statics and mechanics of materials, PLC programming, SCADA, pneumatic circuits as well as model drawing using Autodesk Inventor.It is made up of 5 core units + 15 elective units that are part of this qualification.
