Boiler Making N1-N3

What you should know about Boiler Making N1-N3.

When you study a boilermaker course you learn the fundamental principles of boiler making and you gain the basic skills you need to start your career as a boilermaker. Boilermakers make or repair metal products and structures which may include pressure vessels and pipes.

Products include but are not limited to: manufacture or repaired metal structures, vessels, pipe systems, pressure vessels, heavy duty equipment, sheet metals, road tankers, oilrig stations, mechanical chassis, bins, water tanks, yachts, work boats, high speed vessels, square to rounds, cones, boilers, ducting, water tubes, shell boiler, railway trucks, chutes etc. Each N level takes place over a minimum of one trimester.

After each trimester, students are eligible for a National Certificate on that level. We recommend continuing through all three levels and doing N4, N5 and N6 in order to qualify for the National Diploma. The National Diploma requires students to work for a minimum of 18 months in the field before they are entitled to receive a National Diploma.
