22632VIC is the nationally accredited Certificate II in Engineering Studies. It prepares you for work as an engineering production worker. It has been the current version on the national register since 2023, when it replaced 22470VIC. About 182 engineering production worker jobs were advertised in June 2026, down 12.3% on a year earlier.
The signals behind the Certificate II in Engineering Studies are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035 and enrolments are rising. Job ads in June 2026 were down 12.3% on a year earlier and the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
