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.
