The Mechatronic Development Academy does not conduct trade tests for mechatronics in South Africa. Trade testing for mechatronics is typically done by the Department of Higher Education and Training, which is responsible for overseeing the qualifications and standards of the trades in South Africa.
In order to become a qualified mechatronics artisan, you will need to complete an apprenticeship program and pass a trade test. The apprenticeship program typically takes four years to complete and involves both theoretical training and practical work experience. During the apprenticeship, you will learn the practical skills required for mechatronics, such as assembly, installation, testing, and maintenance of mechatronic systems.
Once you have completed the apprenticeship program, you will need to pass a trade test in order to become a qualified mechatronics artisan. The trade test assesses your knowledge and practical skills in mechatronics and is designed to ensure that you have the competence required to work as a mechatronics artisan.
To find out more about the requirements and procedures for mechatronics apprenticeship and trade testing in South Africa, you can contact the Department of Higher Education and Training or the relevant industry training authority.
