Electrical Engineering

COURSE BACKGROUND

The NATED N1-N6 Electrical Engineering / Heavy Current qualification covers levels N1-N6 and is designed to provide the theory of Electrical Engineering / Heavy Current and an optional practical component. You can attain a National Certificate or Diploma once you have worked 24 months (2000 working hours) in your field of study. This qualification consist of one compulsory part (N1-N6 theory) and two optional practical parts, beginners level (done between N1-N3) and advanced (done between N4-N6)

Electrical engineers are involved in the generation, installation, distribution, and usage of electricity via electrically-operated equipment such as generators, stoves, industrial and domestic installation.

Overall, electrical engineers are in demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, electrical engineer jobs are projected to grow by 9% in the coming years. There is always a need for entry-level engineers as older ones leave the field. This course will give you a definite advantage over other candidates if you want to work in this field.
