A Workshop assistant removes, install and performs services on various heavy-duty vehicle sub-systems and its components (transmission, engines and related mechanical sub-systems). The Occupational Certificate in Heavy Duty Workshop Assistant will equip learners with skills and knowledge to provide workshop assistance, to ensure that vehicles are serviced in a productive, cost-effective, and efficient way.

The heavy equipment maintenance and repair industry provides essential services to users of heavy equipment. The main users in South Africa are the mining, construction, agricultural and forestry sectors. Heavy Equipment Mechanics perform a variety of skilled tasks which enable these economically significant sectors to use the equipment productively, cost-effectively and safely, so as to obtain the maximum benefit from their investment and to comply with legal obligations relating to the condition and use of the equipment.
