The MCAST Diploma in Green Technologies is intended for candidates who wish to embark in a career in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with a particular focus on renewable sources of energy.

With the constant growth in this sector locally and internationally, an urgent need is arising for qualified technicians who are not only capable of installing and testing renewable energy systems, but who also have the required underpinning knowledge and competence to provide after-sales assistance, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair.

This course will include the necessary practical components to give candidates the desired hands-on experience on renewable energy technologies being installed in Malta today.

The purpose for assessment is to ensure that effective learning of the content has taken place. All units are locally assessed. Participants will attempt a series of assignments and sit for an interrim and annual examination in each year of the course. Learners will be given constructive feedback and guidance about how they may improve by capitalising on their strengths and clear constructive comments about the weaknesses and how these might be addressed.
