Cert in Plant Maintenance (Level 3)

The Certificate in Plant Maintenance (Level 3) at Fiji National University meets the needs of students with a general interest in industrial technology trades and those aiming for a career in Plant Maintenance Engineering and related service industries. Delivered over two years for 90 credit points at the Samabula campus, the programme responds to a skills shortage in Fiji's traditional plant maintenance trades and the growing demand for workers able to operate increasingly complex technologies, including advanced electronics systems used in plant equipment and new materials and techniques used in the building industry. Coursework opens with computer-aided design, building toward the practical and theoretical knowledge needed to maintain and service industrial plant and machinery. The qualification gives Fiji's manufacturing and service industries access to newly trained and up-skilled workers capable of handling evolving technology. Entry requires Year 11 or Form 5 to be finished successfully; mature applicants who fall short of this but have some industrial experience may also be considered.
