MEM30719 Certificate III in Marine Craft Construction + MEM40719 Certificate IV in Engineering (Marine Craft Construction) + BSB50820 Diploma of Project Management

COURSE OVERVIEW

Our Triple Qualification in Marine Craft Construction and Project Management offers a practical, industry-focused pathway for students seeking both hands-on technical skills and project management expertise within the marine and engineering sectors.

Throughout the Certificate III in Marine Craft Construction (MEM30719) and Certificate IV in Engineering (Marine Craft Construction) (MEM40719), students develop core trade skills in boat building, marine fabrication, and workshop practices, preparing them for real shipyard and marine industry environments.

Progressing into the Diploma of Project Management (BSB50820), students build leadership and coordination skills, learning to plan, manage, and deliver projects effectively across marine, engineering, and construction settings.

The program combines practical training with essential theory, delivered by experienced industry trainers. Graduates complete the pathway with three nationally recognised qualifications, opening pathways into technical, supervisory, and project coordination roles within the marine and engineering industries.
