Subjects required for the GCC Mines & Works

The first step to obtaining the GCC Mines & Works is getting your qualification evaluated by an approved body. The Department of Mineral Resources recognizes the following academic qualifications when applying for evaluation of qualification:

• Bachelor's Degree in electrical engineering (heavy current)

• Bachelor's Degree in mechanical engineering

• BTech in electrical engineering (heavy current)

• BTech in mechanical engineering

• National Diploma in electrical engineering (heavy current)

• National Diploma in mechanical engineering

• Acceptable trade test, and you must be in the position of a National Technical Diploma (N6) in electrical or mechanical engineering
  

This post will discuss the GCC Mines & Works subject requirements.
