Applied Inspection & Metrology Micro-credential

Chisholm is offering a microcredential in Advanced Inspection and Metrology as a pilot program, which has been designed to support our industry partners and the south east of Melbourne engineering and manufacturing industry. These microcredentials are being delivered by Chisholm free of charge and will provide graduates the ability to increase industry quality, bring future skills back to the workplace, and boost career opportunities.
Students will receive a statement of completion of the microcredential.

This microcredential has been designed to upskill qualified tradespeople, technicians and operators working with precision components, tight tolerances, and quality critical workflows. Improved metrology capability supports consistent part quality, drives down variation and waste, and builds a workforce equipped to meet modern engineering standards.

This course fee is subject to government funding and places are strictly limited to the first 45 eligible participants. Submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI) form does not guarantee a place in the course. Enrolments will be confirmed following eligibility checks and availability of funded places.
