About The Course |
The programme is designed to provide an opportunity to school leavers in possession
of the School Leaving Certificate to explore the underpinning principles of common
construction engineering skills simplified by innovative teaching methods. The programme
includes a good amount of vocational practice to demonstrate the various opportunitites
that can be followed in various sectors. The course includes woodwork, metal fabrication,
bench-fitting and electrical practical exercises. Successful students would have
experienced and gained enough knowledge to follow the Foundation Level 2 programme.

About The Course |
The programme is designed to provide an opportunity to school leavers in possession
of the School Leaving Certificate to follow a structured programme of study in that
area which is closer to their interests. The programme includes a significant amount
of vocational practice that will help students to form a clear idea of the nature
of the trade or vocation they intend to follow. Assessment of each unit in this
qualification is mainly through a system of continuous assessment and tests.
This course provides practical and theoretical aspects of four main trades (Electrical;
Mechanical; Metal Fabrication and Wood trades). Successful students would have experienced
a good basis in tools, materials and process handling in various trades. It would
enable the student to choose and progress in one specific trade as a career.
Students who apply to join a Vocational Foundation Course at level 2 shall be required
to pass MCAST tests in Maltese, English and Mathematics. Following these tests,
MCAST shall draw up a list of those who are found to require significant help in
their studies. These learners will stand to benefit by joining the Foundation Course
at Vocational Level 1 instead. This is a one-year course which should help them
to progress to the Foundation Course at level 2 the following year.

This will be the first step for those students who wish to continue studying so
as to get a builder’s licence.
This course includes both basic practical and theoretical elements of the building
craft as well as plastering, tiling and decoration both with paint as well as by
other means. The course’s aim is to convey basic knowledge and skills with regards
to handling of tools, use of materials and the different processes required for
this particular craft. Successful students can then pass on to the certificate course.
