An engineering union has vowed to proceed with lawsuits against the profession’s official body, undeterred by a deal ensuring MCAST engineering graduates can obtain their warrant.
The Malta Association of Professional Engineers said on Tuesday that the deal for MCAST students, which will allow them to obtain a warrant once they pass a qualification course, was “hasty and unprecedented” and could only harm the profession.
The qualification course has been approved by the engineering profession board after it was assessed by German engineering standards consultancy ASIIN, which had been commissioned by the government to recommend changes to the MCAST course.
