Certificate IV in Automotive Mechanical Diagnosis

The Certificate IV in Automotive Mechanical Diagnosis is a post-trade qualification delivered by Nomi College, the trading name of Australis College Pty Ltd (RTO 31518, CRICOS 03569A). Nomi College describes the qualification as reflecting the role of individuals who perform advanced diagnostic tasks in the automotive retail, service and repair industry. The course sets out to certify students as mechanical technicians able to perform advanced automotive diagnostics. Students broaden their knowledge by learning to diagnose complex faults in petrol engines, electronic ignitions, braking systems and engine management systems. The College states that students also receive training in the analysis and maintenance of hybrid and electric vehicles, the repair of transmissions and drive assemblies, and the management of environmental compliance and occupational safety. The published structure is a single core unit - diagnosing complex system faults - supported by nine elective units. Those electives cover engine management systems, light vehicle petrol and diesel engines, automatic transmission and driveline systems, braking systems, in-vehicle integrated stability control, steering and suspension, light vehicle safety systems, and managing environmental and sustainability best practice. This is a 26-week full-time course, the shortest program in the Nomi College catalogue, delivered as a blended combination of face-to-face classroom and simulated instruction, self-directed learning and final assessment. Practical classes are held in workshops, where students stand, work with and handle tools and are required to organise their own PPE in line with health and safety requirements. The course is offered at the Nomi College campuses in Sydney (Surry Hills), Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
