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 is an MCAST certificate programme at craft level, introducing students to the
following trades:
• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering / Auto
• Woodtrades / Upholstery / Finish
• Fabrication – Welding / Sheetmetal / Plumbing
• Agriculture
• Construction in Stone
Enrolled students in this course will be introduced to workplace health and safety,
use of handtools, techniques in various tasks, including competencies and skilled
trade know how.
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.
