Welcome to Oxbridge Academy

WHY STUDY WITH US?At Oxbridge Academy, we give you the opportunity to further your education while you acquire knowledge and skills that are relevant in the workplace.

Do you want the right skills to:• Pursue a rewarding career?• Earn a promotion in your current job?• Earn a better income?• Secure a job that improves your quality of life?• Start your own business?

With Oxbridge Academy’s flexible home study options, you can study a course that will give you the skills you need to achieve these goals — without having to give up your full-time occupation.

WHY HOME STUDY?Distance learning, or home study, is recognised worldwide as an effective manner in which to further your education. It is highly flexible, and is therefore the ideal option if you have a full-time job, live in a small town far away from a residential college or university, or have family responsibilities that prevent you from attending classes.

Some of the benefits of home study are that you:• Study from home• Study at your own pace • Save money on travelling expenses • Are able to work full-time while you study


ENTRY REQUIREMENTSTo study with Oxbridge Academy, you need to meet the following minimum entry requirements:

• You need to be at least 16 years old.• You need to be able to read and write in English (as all the course material is in English).• You need to be willing to study independently from home (with assistance from a tutor via email).

There are many courses that you can study even if you haven’t completed Matric. For some courses, though, additional entry requirements apply. Please have a look at the course information pages in this brochure to see the full entry requirements for each course.


At Oxbridge Academy, we give you the opportunity to study towards national qualifications in either electrical or mechanical engineering. These qualifications will give you the fundamental knowledge and skills you need to pursue a technical career in either electrical or mechanical engineering (depending on which course you choose to study).

Courses are available in these categories:

What is engineering?

Engineering is a broad discipline that combines mathematics and science to identify and solve problems. It involves inventing,

designing, building, maintaining and improving structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. As such, engineering

affects all aspects of our daily lives.

There are many different types of engineering, including: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, civil

engineering and biomedical engineering. At Oxbridge Academy, we focus on electrical and mechanical engineering.


Electrical EngineeringThe field of electrical engineering incorporates almost anything that relates to the generation, transmission or conversion of electrical energy. Electrical engineers may be involved in a wide range of projects, including projects where they work on:

• Power systems (plants, grids, generators)

• Electrical circuits (in buildings and technological devices)

• Communication systems (radio, television, wireless communication systems)

Electrical engineering involves a combination of theoretical and practical work, including tasks such as researching new projects, drawing circuit diagrams, developing project plans, calculating project costs, and implementing or overseeing the implementation of projects.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is probably the most diverse field in engineering. It deals with anything that moves – whether it’s machinery, energy, or even the human body.

Mechanical engineers learn about a vast variety of topics, and may be involved in areas such as aerospace engineering, thermodynamics, manufacturing, construction, robotics, and the creation of prosthetic devices. As you can see, the mechanical engineering field has so many branches that it is impossible to specialise in all of them.

Note: The courses available at Oxbridge Academy cover only a small part of the mechanical engineering field. The courses that we offer are focused on millwright work, boilermaking, fitting and turning, and petrol and diesel mechanics.


How can you benefit by studying towards an engineering course at Oxbridge Academy?• You can gain job-relevant knowledge and skills by studying your engineering course on a full-

time or part-time basis from home.• You can develop skills that are in demand in the workplace.• You can combine your N3 engineering course with two language subjects to complete your

Technical Matric.• You can get assistance from a tutor within 48 hours if you get stuck with your coursework or

assignments.• You can choose to pay for your course upfront or in affordable monthly instalments.• You can change your course within the first 5 months of registration if you realise that you

would rather study a different course.


what Skills do you need to work as an ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN?If you want to work as an engineering technician, you will need to excel in mathematics and science. You will also need:

• Creativity• Excellent problem solving skills• Communication and report writing skills• Teamwork skills• Logical and analytical thinking skills• An eye for detail

In addition to these general skills, you will need to acquire the technical skills that are required for your chosen area of specialisation within the broad field of engineering.


What Career opportunities are available?Careers in engineering are generally varied, challenging, and intellectually stimulating. Due to the diverse nature and broad scope of engineering, there are many different career options to choose from. Engineers can choose to specialise in a particular field, such as mechanical engineering or electrical engineering, and can also choose to work in either a largely theory-based position or in a more hands-on role.

As an engineer, the career path that you choose to follow will depend on a variety of factors, including your skills and qualifications, the availability of jobs in your area, and your personal preferences.The types of careers you might be able to pursue if you complete your N1 – N3 qualifications in electrical or mechanical engineering, for example, include the following:

Electrical EngineeringElectrical Engineering Technician, Installation Technician, Telecommunications TechnicianMechanical EngineeringAssembly Technician, Boilermaker, Fitter and Turner, Millwright,Motor Mechanic (Diesel or Petrol)

Other types of careers in the broader engineering field include:Air quality monitoring technicianAircraft engineerAutomotive engineerBiotechnologistCivil engineerComputer engineerElectrical engineerEnvironmental health technicianIndustrial engineerMechanical engineerMining technicianNuclear technologistPetroleum engineerQuality assurance technicianSoftware development manager

Note: For most of these careers, you will need more advanced training, which is not available at Oxbridge Academy.


“It was very good studying on my own time, the notes was clear and understandable and I pass with merit in every module. I like to thank the principal, tutors, Finance, queries department for all the support and always respond for anything that want. Once again thank you.”
