Coming soon: Australia’s first combat systems engineering education pathway

The Defence Trailblazer is pleased to announce a new way for learners to expand their knowledge and advance their career in less time and with increased flexibility through Combat Systems Engineering (CSE) Micro-credentials.

Our CSE Micro-credentials have been co-developed with defence industry, and will be delivered by our university partners to address a critical gap in system engineering expertise in Australia.

By engaging industry expertise and world-class academics, these technical and specialised courses provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity to upskill CSE capability across Australia’s defence industry, and address the shortage of formal qualification pathways in combat systems engineering. A full program of offerings will be released in the coming weeks.

Current courses on offer include:

  • Introduction to Systems Engineering (Combat Systems Specialisation)
  • Introduction to Radar Systems and Theory

Key course benefits:

  • Fast-track your career pathway into the defence sector, while developing in-demand skills for defence industry systems engineers
  • Gain a competitive edge when applying for engineering and technical roles across the defence industry, and within Australia’s growing shipbuilding programs
  • Build the critical skills and expertise required for an engineering role that designs, builds and sustains key Australian Defence Force assets such as F-35 jets, surface maritime ships, and Australia’s future nuclear-powered submarines.

Who are the courses for?

The CSE micro-credentials are suitable for:

  • Existing defence industry professionals who want verification of their combat systems engineering skill set or want to upskill in combat systems engineering
  • Engineers and suitably qualified and experienced technical staff who would like to transition into a career in defence.

How much does each course cost?

The pricing for each course is $3,200 per learner. Discounts may be applicable for Defence Trailblazer industry partners. Contact workforce@dtb.solutions for more information.
