😂😂I am slowly getting there currently doing my N5 in boilermaking

[@matsieserwale5768]

Just double check, most companies don’t allow boiler makers to be engineers because you can’t size pumps, motors etc.. they prefer electrical and mechanical engineers only .. do your homework.

[@SimoFaltein]

Bro boilermaker ends at n3 from n4 to n6 you do mechanical engineering

[@Tokoloho33]

There's too much supply of engineering graduates and not enough jobs to match, as a result companies start exploiting professionals like that. I have over 12 years in the industry and there are very few well paying jobs, 5 to 10%, the rest of them pay peanuts. Those who are blessed will enjoy the ride, but majority of engineers are frustrated. Dedicate yourself and excel while you're in varsity and also as a junior engineer, that will help set you apart and hopefully land you in some of the best companies.

[@liferesetwithboni]

South africa is a nightmare, and not everyone can just pack and go to Australia. I get your point very well.

Engineering pays well, especially when you have acquired GCC and are employed in the mining environment...

[@TVETHigh]

If I were the 1st two Candidates mentioned in this video, I would have chosen an Apprenticeship program in Millwright, Instruments Mechanician, or Fitter and Turner Not the Graduate 🎓 Programme😴 This is my Best 👌 investment: 1. National diploma (Technician) 2. Trade Certificate (Artisan) 3. Register with (ECSA) 3. Projects Management to Advanced. 4. Work Experience (Specific Machinery) 5. Then Apply for GCC exam Estimated time ⏲️: minimum = 5 years. In My Opinion 😊.

[@sawanav6499]

Boni there’s a difference between someone that did a BTech in engineering, a national diploma and a BEng/Bsc Engineering degree. Usually the BEng/Bsc Engineering holds the highest earning potential. This is what you referred to about the UP graduates that get around 30k pm. Not to say that the others cannot reach that high earning potential with experience.

[@liferesetwithboni]

Yes, that's why I mentioned it. Those ones they can start with R30k on a grad programme easily. .

[@matsieserwale5768]

@@sawanav6499 you guys are not informed and it is concerning that you come to such platforms and spread such lies. So this is how this works: 1. It depends on where you get a graduate program or internship 2. Anyone with a national diploma upwards can qualify for a GCC, obviously this is provided you studied towards mechanical or electrical engineering 3. A company will pay for the course work and provide the experience required 4. Mining companies don’t usually care whether you have a BEng or diploma because at the end of the day you don’t necessarily certify anything you just need to be smart, have leadership potential and be willing to work hard. There is a lot of moving between places. 4. Every one doing GCC goes through step 3 hence the salary is the same!

But Boni your payslips seem inflated... can you do your research as well, compare with HR Business partners establish the ranges or atleast the industries.. because sometimes your figures genuinely don’t sound right… And make sure you don’t have expats that are converting their salaries from US dollars to rands, which is very common.. For instance, a classic saver at discovery is way more than R1000 so do your homework as well… don’t sell people dreams, overtime and bonus’s are is are not salaries hence are usually the first to go when companies are going through tough times, please do your homework and stop selling dreams.. If an Engineer is taking home R200k a month in a company how much is the manager earning ? … an EPCM engineer most definitely because the working dynamics are completely different but a full time in-house engineer??

Hi, me too please sis.

[@thabisoramatabana9309]

Download the subjects needed for a mechanical GCC (Ndiploma) compare with what you have and check the outstanding ones needed to qualify, they are 19 in total and must be above 50%. Must have over two years of factory/ plant experience, over 23 years. 1. Statement of results for all 19 subjects certified. 2. Fill in the application form and pay a certain amount 3. If you meet the qualifying criteria you ll be issued with an acceptance letter from DOL that expires after 3 years certifying you as candidate engineer. 4. Prepare for the factory and Ohs law exam written in May and November every year. 5. Wait for the results, it normally takes one to two months before publishing them to your exam center. 6. Submit the statement of results and acceptance letter to DOL and you ll then be issued with a GCC certifying that your a certified Engineer. 7. Then you can start applying for vacancy that requires a GCC certificate to be appointed as GMR2.1 or GMR2.7 to ensure that plant complies with the OHSA regulation, and that's when you start making 6 digits. Hopefully this information is clear for your journey 🙏

@thabisoramatabana9309 This is very helpful. Thank you so much.

[@solomonmonanyane5519]

Can anyone explain how to reach GCC without going to university 🙏

[@matsieserwale5768]

You get a learnership with a company usually a mining company, the company will pay your gcc and give you experience. It takes 2 years but you need a minimum of a national diploma.

[@sellomolekoa1559]

There is also GCC for the factories available for the mechanical and engineering field. You need to have a minimum of 2 years of working experience, a letter from HR confirming the experience, and a signed by line manager. The letter needs to be sent to the Dept of labor to determine whether you qualify or not to write an exams for GCC

@@seimela lol there is no difference once they all have a GCC🤓🤓… artisan is someone with a trade test, their duty is to replace and repair or pull cables if they are electricians or millwrights in addition to reseting and energising equipment… Technician depend on where you work? Because it doesn’t exist in the mining industry except if you are an instrument or mechanician… usually someone that has done light current. Engineer carry a legal appointment, is the owner of all the equipment in the company their duty you go figure on LinkedIn⛏️🤓 In addition to this you can register as a professional engineer or technician to obviously sign off designs etc.. an engineer doesn’t sign off any designs unless registered as a professional but they can review and question designs etc…

[@matsieserwale5768]

To qualify as an artisan you need N2 and a trade test. But that will never make you an engineer, however it pays very well thanks to overtime and standby allowances and has the advantage that in a company artisans account for almost everyone in the workshop, this are the people doing the hard work….
