Certificate of Trade Studies
Awarded Marks

The Certificate of Trade Studies
criteria for Stage 2A, shall be 80%
theory and 20% assignments, plus a
minimum of 50% in the practical skills
area.

The Electrical Workers' Board of the SEC, will accept the Certificate of Trade
Studies as the full requirement for open-licensing. In order that the
Certificate of Trade Studies fulfils the minimum safety and competency
requirements for SEC open-licensing, the following criteria will apply.

The 80% theory criterion will be met,
by averaging the scaled mark, achieved
in all theory tests, laid down by the
Superintendent, for each completed
subject module, listed in Details of
Syllabus, and the mark achieved in a
final theory examination.

A pass must be obtained in both:

- the average of the theory module tests including all mandatory
modules 50%
- the final theory examination 30%

No student will be eligible for a
Certificate mark exceeding 45%, unless
that student has achieved a mark of at
least 50% for the average of the scaled
results of all module theory tests
listed in Details of Syllabus,
including a pass in those
mandatory modules marked with an
asterisk (*) and 50% for the final
theory examination.

The 20% assignment criterion will be
met, by averaging the cumulative
continuous assessment of assignments
nominated by the lecturer. Assessment
will be on the basis of presentation,
technical content, grammar and
spelling. A pass is required.

A pass in the practical area will be
met, by the student, completing and
achieving a minimum of 50% in the
practical assessment requirements for
all modules containing a practical
component, including isolation and
tagging procedures.

Privileged Re-Examination,
Practical Skills Re-Assessment

A privileged re-examination, or
practical skills re-assessment, may be
offered by the Superintendent of the
Study Area. The pass mark for the
privileged re-examination is 50%.

In general, it is recommended that only
one re-test, for a given module, be
offered within the course attendance
period (where time permits). Any
subsequent re-testing in tutorial
periods, will be at the discretion of
the college.

NOTE - ALL LECTURERS

Certificate of Trade Studies
(Electrical Fitting and Electrical
Mechanic) modules, are identified in
this syllabus.

However, the existing guidelines of
module hours for the CTS (Electrical
Fitting and Electrical Mechanic), do
not necessarily apply. This Instrument
Electrical syllabus is intense in its
program, requiring additional material
to be covered in the same 144-hour
semester program.
