Required Subjects For GCC Exam

Required Subjects For GCC Exam

Three routes may allow you to qualify as a GCC factories candidate:

The first route is for those applicants who have acquired a bachelor's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering from any University.
The second route is designated for those applicants who have completed a national diploma in mechanical or electrical engineering from a Higher Education and Training institution like UNISA, UJ, VUT, etc.; this also includes BTech.
The third route? It's tailored for applicants holding a national technical diploma in mechanical or electrical engineering from a TVET college (or the formerly FET colleges).

Those applying through Route 1 must present their degree certification and, furthermore, demonstrate to the Commission of Examiners their practical experience in plant maintenance and operation which they have acquired.

On the other hand, Route 2 applicants are required to show that the educational curriculum of the institution where they studied includes topics from the plant engineering syllabus. Similarly, like in Route 1, they also need to satisfy the Commission of Examiners regarding their hands-on experience in plant maintenance and operation.

Route 2 applicants are not obligated to finish any "minimum" subjects; however, additional subjects may be demanded by the Commission of Examiners if they feel that the national diploma curriculum did not adequately address the plant engineering syllabus.

To maintain as Route 3 applicants they must establish to the Commission of Examiners that their school curriculum incorporates the plant engineering syllabus and comprises at least mechanical or electrical subjects. Also, they must establish to the Commission of Examiners that they have sufficient experience in maintenance and operation.

In this post we want to present the minimum subjects for the Route 3 mechanical or electrical applicants. The difference in the minimum subjects required between Route 3 mechanical and electrical applicants.

In Summary

TVET Engineering students may, with the appropriate practical experience, qualify as Certified Engineers for either Mine and Works or Factories. The curriculum for admission to the qualifying examination for the Engineer's Certificate of Competency is as follows:

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING	ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
N3 Engineering Drawing N3	N3 Engineering Drawing N3
N4 Electrotechnics N4 Engineering Science N4 Industrial Electronics N4 Mechanotechnics N4 Mathematics N4 Supervisory Management N4	N4 Electrotechnics N4 Engineering Science N4 Industrial Electronics N4 Mechanotechnics N4 Mathematics N4 Supervisory Management N4
N5 Electrotechnics N5 Power Machines N5 Mechanotechnics N5 Strength of Materials and Structures N5 Fluid Mechanics N5 Supervisory Management N5	N5 Electrotechnics N5 Power Machines N5 Mechanotechnics N5 Strength of Materials and Structures N5 Industrial Electronics N5 Supervisory Management N5
N6 Control Systems N6 Power Machines N6 Mechanotechnics N6 Strength of Materials and Structures N6 Fluid Mechanics N6 Supervision N6	N6 Control Systems N6 Power Machines N6 Mechanotechnics N6 Strength of Materials and Structures N6 Industrial Electronics N6 Supervisory Management N6

A minimum pass mark of 50% is required in the above-mentioned subjects.

Conclusion

National technical Diploma (route 3) must be passed to ensure that the syllabus of the plant engineering. The Commission of Examiners, must be passed the minimum mechanical or electrical subjects GCC Factories applicants in route 3 GCC factories.
