Technician roles fail on detail: a tolerance that cannot be held, a bill of materials that does not match the model, a drawing that means two different things to two readers. This program is built around producing one complete, manufacturable documentation pack, and every week is assessed against whether a workshop could actually work from what you produced.
Every week has its modules, a learning outcome, and an assessed submission with a deadline.
Week 1
Orthographic projection, sections, and drawing conventions to ISO and AS standards; geometric dimensioning and tolerancing — datums, form, orientation, position; limits and fits and choosing them for a purpose; metrology with calipers, micrometers, gauges, and CMM output; measurement uncertainty and why two people get two numbers; workshop hazards and safe practice.
By the end of this week you can
Interpret a production drawing without ambiguity and mark up what is wrong with a badly dimensioned one.
Assessed this week
Drawing interpretation and mark-up exercise plus a measurement uncertainty calculation. Quiz on GD&T symbols and fits. Due end of week 1.
Week 2
Parametric modelling that survives a change request; sketch discipline and feature order; assemblies, mates, and interference checking; bills of materials and part numbering; drawing generation from the model; revision control and change notices; design for manufacture and assembly — reducing part count, avoiding features nobody can machine.
By the end of this week you can
Model a part and an assembly whose bill of materials, drawings, and model stay consistent when a dimension changes.
Assessed this week
CAD submission: part, assembly, generated drawings, and BOM, then a mid-assessment change request applied and re-issued. Due end of week 2.
Week 3
Material properties and selection for load, environment, and cost; machining, sheet metal forming, casting, welding, and additive — what each can and cannot hold; process capability and why a tolerance is a cost decision; inspection and test plans; first article inspection; non-conformance reports, root cause, and corrective action.
By the end of this week you can
Select a manufacturing process for your part and defend it on tolerance, volume, and cost against a challenge.
Assessed this week
Process selection report with an inspection plan, defended in a written challenge round. Due end of week 3.
Week 4
Failure modes and how components actually fail; planned versus reactive maintenance and the economics of each; spares and criticality; technical documentation an engineer will sign; working inside a formal change process; the technician interview — drawing reading under time pressure, and walking through your own pack.
By the end of this week you can
Hand over a complete, self-consistent documentation pack and defend the decisions in it.
Assessed this week
Capstone: full documentation pack — model, drawings, BOM, process selection, inspection plan — presented to a tutor panel with a question round. Due end of week 4.
A Genutive Industry Ready Certificate for this pathway, showing the assessed components and your Merit Score, plus a published project showcase and a rebuilt resume.
Yes — all modules, live sessions, and assessments are online. Where a program has a supervised practical component, that part is arranged with a partner provider and is explained in the curriculum for the week it falls in.
It depends on the program, and the consultation is where that gets checked properly. Some pathways assume an existing qualification or trade background; others are entry points. We would rather turn you away than take a fee for a program you cannot complete.
You can enrol from anywhere. Employment, internship, and any supervised practical component depend on your work rights and location, which your advisor will go through with you before you commit.

Consultation-led — not instant enrolment
Programs listed here are delivered through partner providers and advisor-led consulting pathways. Certification outcomes depend on program completion and assessment requirements. Genutive does not guarantee employment or visa approval.
Four weeks, online, with the same rhythm every week so you can plan around it.
Two scheduled live sessions each week with the program tutor — one teaching session and one working session for questions, code or case review, and feedback. Sessions are recorded. Tutor time is deliberately limited: it is there for the parts that need a person, not to re-read the modules to you.
Each week releases a set of modules with readings, walkthroughs, and practice tasks. Expect eight to twelve hours of self-paced work a week on top of the live sessions.
A short knowledge check closes each week's modules. You see your result immediately, and you can retake it until you pass — but only the first attempt counts toward your Merit Matrix quiz score.
Every week has a submitted piece of work with a deadline. Tutors mark it and return written feedback. Late submissions are accepted and marked, but on-time submission is what the Merit Matrix rewards.
The final week is a capstone reviewed by a tutor panel. It becomes the centrepiece of your project showcase, which is visible on your Genutive profile.
You are placed in a small peer group for the four weeks. Some tasks are collaborative and peer-reviewed, and collaboration is a scored component of the Merit Matrix — because it is the part of the work employers complain is missing.
Your Merit Score is calculated from four components. It is not a participation award, and it follows you into the job marketplace where employers can see it.
Tutor-marked weekly tasks and the capstone. The largest component, because it is the closest thing to the actual job.
Attendance at the scheduled live sessions. Recordings help you catch up on content, but they do not earn attendance.

Peer review you give and receive, and contribution to group tasks.
A Merit Score of 70 or above moves your enrolment to Career Ready. That is the point at which the employer network, internship consideration, and marketplace visibility open up. Below 70 you keep the certificate of completion and can be reassessed, but Career Ready is a threshold, not a formality.
Internship placement is offered to successful candidates only. "Successful" means you complete the program and reach the Career Ready threshold of 70 on the Merit Matrix. Even then, a placement depends on a partner or employer having a suitable position open at the time, in a location where you hold the right to work. Genutive does not guarantee an internship, and does not guarantee a job. What we do guarantee is that you will be visible to the employers in our network with real, assessed evidence attached to your name rather than a claim on a resume.
A Genutive Industry Ready Certificate naming the program, the assessed components, and your Merit Score. It records what you actually did, which is why we can put the score on it.
Your capstone is published to your Genutive profile with the tutor panel's review, so an employer can look at the work rather than take your word for it.
A resume rebuilt around what you can now evidence, plus interview practice for the specific roles the program targets.
Career Ready candidates become visible to employers in the Genutive network and can be matched to roles in the job marketplace.
Program fees are set during your consultation. They depend on the program, your starting point, and whether a partner provider is delivering a regulated component alongside it — so a single advertised price would be misleading more often than it was accurate. The consultation is where you find out the fee, and there is no obligation attached to it.
