Diploma in Instrumentation is a 3-year full-time diploma that builds your understanding of how technical systems and structures are designed, tested and maintained safely, with Instrumentation as the main subject through all 6 semesters.
Teaching combines classroom sessions with workshop and laboratory sessions, drawing and CAD practice and measurement and testing exercises, so what you learn in theory is immediately practised. You finish with Diploma in Instrumentation and a record of work you can show to an employer or a university.
