High-tech systems combine mechanics, electronics and IT. Mechanical checks alone are no longer enough. In 10 weeks you grow into a Mechatronical Test Engineer. You learn to run Factory Acceptance Tests, analyse faults in connected systems and make well-founded improvement proposals. You learn blended in a Smart Factory and apply theory straight to real-life cases.
You validate and improve systems independently, based on data.
You apply theory straight to realistic hands-on cases.
Comparable to Associate Degree level; the route to the AD stays open.
You become more valuable to your team in high-tech production.
Marius LecturerA good technician knows how to build something.
This course is for skilled technical professionals who want to grow with the changing high-tech industry.You recognise yourself as:
You learn in a realistic Smart Factory environment, where theory and practice are combined straight away. You work on real cases where systems, data and test procedures come together. What you learn, you apply directly in your own work. You learn to independently:
The difference from a hands-on technician: you analyse, assess and improve processes based on data.
The module lasts 10 weeks and has a blended set-up:
You work on, among other things, a FAT case and a fault analysis in a connected system.
You learn in a Smart Factory set-up at Brainport Industries Campus or a comparable high-tech learning environment at Fontys. You work with:
For in-company participation, you learn at the company’s own location.
The course starts twice a year. Sessions are held in the morning, from 09.00 to 13.00. The next round starts in February 2027:
After successful completion you receive an official Fontys microcredential at NLQF level 5. NLQF 5 is comparable to the level of an Associate Degree (AD): a practice-oriented higher-education programme. You don’t just work to instruction; you independently analyse, assess and improve processes.
The route to the full Associate Degree Smart Industry stays open. This microcredential is a first step.Read more about the Associate Degree Smart Industry.
In-company the course can be taught in Dutch or English.
