Certification

In South Africa, the N4-N6 Electrical Engineering certifications form part of the National Certificate (Vocational) program, preparing students with theoretical and practical skills for the electrical engineering industry.

    N4
  • At this level, students focus on foundational subjects such as electrical trade theory, engineering science, industrial electronics, and electrical installation principles. They learn about electrical circuits, safety regulations, and basic system design.
  • N5
  • Building on N4, this level introduces more advanced topics, including electrical power systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and motor control circuits. Students also study electrical fault-finding techniques and industrial automation.
  • N6
  • The final level delves into high-voltage systems, renewable energy technologies, electrical system protection, and advanced power electronics. This stage prepares students for industry challenges, including electrical project management, network analysis, and compliance with electrical safety standards.
