Introduction
Civil and structural engineering is one of the oldest forms of engineering which involves the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment. Civil engineers design for progress, to ensure a future of resilient and sustainable infrastructure that will meet the demands of our growing population. Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, you will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills and understanding in the key core units of the civil engineering discipline. You will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors and design practice knowledge - contextualized to engineering applications such as ‘surveying’.
Online Delivery and Assessments
EIT uses an innovative, online approach to ensure that you have a supportive, interactive and practical education experience. Our delivery model involves live, interactive online tutorials, remote laboratories, simulation software, and assignments with support from dedicated Learning Support Officers and Academic Staff.
Tutorials are conducted using our own specialized, live, interactive software system. You will receive course materials and assessments through an online Learning Management System which is available 24 hours a day. The course learning outcomes will be assessed with formative and summative assessments. These formal and informal assessment methods include quizzes, invigilated tests, written reports, remote-lab practicals, case studies and invigilated final exams.
Employment Outcomes and Pathways
Students who have a basic undergraduate certificate in civil engineering degree are able to enhance their ability and knowledge in the civil engineering field, enabling them to gain and hold employment.
Graduates will be able to work in a wide range of construction, structural planning, design, site management, water and waste management, transport maintenance and operations, urban planning, and civil engineering project management in junior to technical assistant roles.
Further study pathway with EIT would be the Bachelor of Science (Civil and Structural Engineering) -> Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural).
How to Apply
Once you have reviewed the entry requirements for this course, you can commence the application process by completing this form. You will then receive an email with detailed course information and access to our application portal.
Please note: All applicants will be required to provide certified/notarized photo ID and certified/notarized qualifications transcripts*
Certified/Notarized ID and Qualification Transcripts
A requirement of studying with EIT is to provide us with a certified/notarized copy of a formal identification document which includes your name (this must match the name used in your application) and photograph. An acceptable formal identification document includes either a copy of a current passport, drivers license, ID card or another official license which includes a photograph of yourself. You will also need to provide certified/notarized qualification transcripts. The certified/notarized transcripts must show all programs and an official statement to confirm that all requirements for the qualification have been satisfied. If a transcript is not yet available please attach a certified written record which includes all grades. Certified/notarized copies of relevant documents must be in English. A full list of who is eligible to certify documents is available here. Those certifying documents should write: “This is a true copy of the original document sighted by me”, followed by their signature then printed name, address, contact telephone number, occupation and date.
Accreditation
The Undergraduate Certificate is a new formally recognized qualification that has been added to the Australian Qualifications Framework. It is accredited by the Australian Government Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) which is an independent statutory authority that regulates and assures Australia’s higher education sector.

Program Outcome
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, graduates will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills and understanding in the key core units of the Civil engineering discipline. Graduates will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors and design practice knowledge - contextualized to engineering applications such as ‘surveying’.
Graduates of this course will be able to identify and solve intellectually complex, specialized engineering problems, individually or in groups, underpinned by critical analysis, self-reflection, research and synthesis of the engineering systems and solutions relevant to the engineering technology domain. Graduates will also apply, analyze and synthesize solutions to fundamental concepts required for Civil engineering discipline in a critical manner.
Graduates will have communication skills to investigate, analyze and present technical ideas, information and solutions engineering problems in a professional and organized manner across the engineering technology domain.
