Certification Routes
As an approved ICTQual AB centre, we offer two flexible pathways:
Route 1 – Experienced Professionals
For learners with at least six years of verifiable experience in mechatronics, engineering, or automation. Candidates can undergo a competency assessment to verify their skills and bypass the full 36-unit programme. Successful candidates receive the ICTQual AB Level 6 International Diploma in Mechatronics, which is British Council verifiable, MOFA and embassy attestable, and recognised for jobs and Iqama approvals.
Route 2 – Fresh Learners
For learners new to mechatronics or engineering. Fresh candidates are required to complete all 36 study units, assignments, projects, and assessments. On completion, they are awarded the ICTQual AB Level 6 International Diploma in Mechatronics, globally recognised and valuable for employment, visa processing, and Iqama approval.
Both routes ensure flexibility while maintaining high international standards and recognition.
