INTRODUCTION

The Pre-GCSE Course is an essential part of the Gibraltar College students’ education. It develops students’ knowledge, skills and understanding at this level, providing progression opportunities for future enrolment in the College at Level 2 or relevant employment.

Route 2. Certificate in Engineering:

EAL CERTIFICATE IN ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES (601/5658/2)

The delivery and assessment of this qualification takes a ‘hands on’ approach. The final assessment of the units will be a combination of internally assessed practical tasks and an externally assessed multiple-choice examination. The suitability of the learner in the workshop environment will be assessed during the first few weeks of term. If appropriate, learners will continue with the practical elements of the programme. Otherwise, an alternative fall back route will be followed, consisting of bespoke ASDAN short courses, relevant to the local Engineering and Technology industry.
