N4-N6 Electrical Engineering Course
WHY SHOULD YOU STUDY AT EKURHULENI TECHNICAL COLLEGE
Studying with Ekurhuleni Technical College DOES NOT disrupt your current commitments because we offer the courses through distance learning, part time and full time. This means that you can continue with your current goals and still pursue your studies with us.
- While giving you extra savings, we go an extra mile for our students. When students happen to fail a subject, we offer them re-write chances and they do not pay any more fees apart from their exam re-write fees.
- Our flexibility is what separates us. Students have a choice of how many subjects they want to write at a given trimester until they are done with their course.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Electrical engineering involves the design, study and manufacturing of various electrical and electronic systems such as electrical circuits, computer systems, telecommunication, instrumentation, controls and electronics.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING COURSES: N4-N6
- Light Current Heavy Current
- Instrumentation
The National N-Diploma is a three years qualification consisting of a theoretical part (N4 – N6) and two years industry experience in the Electrical Engineering field. The N4 – N6 Certificate Programmes are leading towards obtaining a National N-Diploma. Each certificate is a qualification on its own and is offered over a period of 3 month.
