Train for the Manufacturing & Energy Industries
Journeyman
The NSDP Journeyman Diploma is an apprenticeship programme designed to provide trainees with the necessary competencies in various occupational areas related to the field of engineering.
MIC Institute of Technology partnered with the German Chamber of Crafts and Trades, Fitz Werner GmbH and the ICON-INSTITUT of Aachen, Germany and formed this diploma programme, modelling the German dual-system of training – which systematically combines the advantages of training in a company and education in a vocational school.
Graduates from this programme will demonstrate competence in a wide variety of skills and knowledge related to the Manufacturing and Energy sector.
