Home / Engineering / Certificate IV in Engineering – MEM40119
From CNC programming to plant mechanics, MEM40119 covers a genuinely wide range of higher-level trade work. If you’re already operating at that level without the formal certificate, we can help you get there through RPL, assessed by one of our partnered training organisations.
This qualification covers the skills required for employment as a Higher Engineering Tradesperson, spanning fields including refrigeration and air conditioning, CNC programming, fluid power, heavy fabrication, instrumentation, maintenance, plant mechanics, mechatronics, robotics, toolmaking and welding.
There’s no formal entry requirement, though it’s assumed candidates are already a tradesperson or apprentice with access to structured training. RPL suits experienced tradespeople working at a higher technical level who’ve never completed formal Certificate IV study.
Engineers and tradies of all skill levels are eligible for this credential. This certificate will get you a formal qualification whether you’re an expert with years of expertise or a newbie who is still studying and has finished a partial qualification. By gaining new skills, revisiting your education, or updating existing technical knowledge, the certificate IV in engineering can help you improve your employment possibilities. You can upskill, transfer to new jobs, and/or fill a gap in the industry with this certificate.

Candidates who complete the Certificate IV in Engineering will be prepared to work as higher engineering tradespeople in the metal, engineering, manufacturing, and related industries. You can also perform post-trade work with this certification. This certificate includes both education and on-the-job training.
With this certification, you can work in the following industries: refrigeration and air conditioning, casting and moulding, computer numerically controlled (CNC) programming, fluid power, heavy fabrication, instrumentation, maintenance, plant mechanics, marine electronics, mechatronics, patternmaking, robotics, toolmaking, welding, and watch and clock services and repair.
The regulations for registration and licensure vary by state. Licences related to trade engineering can fall under building and construction licences. They are regulated by an independent body in each state. Visit the website of the relevant regulatory agency in your state to learn more about licences and their requirements.
A licence or registration verifies that you have received sufficient training to do engineering and post-trade work in a safe and professional manner. As a certified professional, it demonstrates that you can comprehend and apply the compliance standards of engineering, operations, post-trade work, services, and repair.
The Certificate IV in Engineering (MEM40105 cert 4 engineering fabrication) provides the knowledge and skills required for an individual to be employed as a Special Class Engineering Tradesperson (Mechanical) – Level II, Special Class Engineering Tradesperson (Fabrication) – Level II, Special Class Engineering Tradesperson (Electrical / Electronic) – Level II within the metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries or as Higher Engineering Tradesperson of an equivalent level in other industries.This mechanical engeineering qualification was specifically developed for existing tradespersons in the engineering field, or to be delivered to Engineering Trade apprentices wishing to study at a higher level. By integrating a combination of practical and theoretical learning strategies – similar to that of a formal apprenticeship – it aims to develop competency. In addition, individuals may also use a formal skills recognition assessment process to achieve the qualification.
You will need to provide a range of evidence to assist your assessor to make a decision about your competence. The types of evidence you may be asked to provide can include
