Due to an unprecedented increase in applications for our Electrical Engineering and Instrumentation and Control Engineering courses this year, competition for places is exceptionally high. As these courses are currently oversubscribed, we want to ensure you are fully informed about the next steps.
To maintain fairness and transparency throughout the admissions process, we are introducing additional steps for applicants of these courses. Please note that failure to engage with these steps may result in the withdrawal of your child’s application.
All students who have received a conditional offer will be invited to complete an aptitude test. You can book a test slot using the link below. Students who pass the aptitude test will then be invited to attend an interview.
Once GCSE results are released, students who meet the criteria will be invited to enrol.
Aptitude Testing
Aptitude test is an online test assessing problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, critical thinking, literacy and numerical proficiency. This is a required step in the admissions process. To progress your application, you will need to complete the testing and meet the minimum threshold.
The Aptitude testing will take around 40 minutes to complete and needs to be completed onsite at Middlesbrough College. Please select a time when booking your ticket.
