Engineering encompasses a wide range of trades including boilermaking, casting and moulding, diesel fitting, fabrication, fitting and turning, locksmithing, sheet-metal fabrication, and welding. An engineering qualification can open up a career across a number of industries including construction, infrastructure, and resources and mining.
TAFE Queensland's engineering and manufacturing training capabilities are unparalleled in Australia. They include a $25 million purpose-built engineering training facility which houses specialist training for the boilermaking, welding, sheet-metal fabrication, machining, and fitting trades. The facility includes purpose-built metallurgical laboratories and fully equipped workshops including welding bays, lathes, mills, and computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines.
Our Advanced Manufacturing Centre is home to Australia's premier foundry; a $7.5 million facility and the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The centre has brought patternmaking into the 21st century with the addition of computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing, and CNC machining.
At TAFE Queensland we offer a comprehensive range of engineering courses ranging from introductory certificate II courses in locksmithing through to bachelors level courses in civil engineering.

After four years of training, boilermaking apprentice Ifran Ali Babrick is looking forward to getting his trade qualification and using the skills he's learnt to one day open his own workshop
After not knowing what he wanted to do with his career Lachlan found a passion for metal work and went on to start his apprenticeship in metal fabrication while he was still at school. He loves the hands-on, practical nature of the job and is now continuing his studies with a certificate III so he can become fully trade-qualified.
