TrainMe Trades School

TrainMe’s Hamilton-based Trades School takes more than 120 students at its purpose-built school each year, who graduate with Level 2 National Certificates.

One of the courses TrainMe offers is Mechanical Engineering, exploring the world of machinery from an industrial viewpoint. Course content includes welding skills, technical drawing and an overall introduction to engineering. Students can earn the National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Level 2), with a blend of time in the classroom and in the workshop.

During the year there are opportunities to design a project on paper then get into the workshop and build what they’ve designed. Students learn problem solving skills and get to use a range of workshop equipment and materials, like Stainless Steel, Aluminium and Mild Steel fabrication along with using mig, tig and arc welders, benders, folders, guillotines, torque wrenches, drill presses, micrometers, vernier calipers, bench vices and angle grinders.
