For young people looking to begin a career in Engineering, T Levels are a high-quality, work-focused alternative to A Levels, offering new routes to employment or further learning.
Units may include:
- Engineering and manufacturing requirements, systems, processes, technical drawings and specifications
- CAD designs and interpretations
- 3D printing
- Mechanical engineering
- Employer set projects
- Work industry placements
This T Level will allow you to develop your knowledge and understanding in a broad range of engineering, manufacturing, mechanical and electrical disciplines. It will include an industry placement, with a chance to apply your skills and knowledge in a real-life workplace environment.
A minimum of five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including maths, English and science or a transition to engineering qualification.
To give you the best possible chance of successfully completing your qualification, 100% attendance is expected for the duration of the course. English, maths, work experience, tutorials and employability sessions all form part of the overall qualification and non-attendance to any of these sessions may result in the overall qualification not being achieved. Continued non-attendance to any timetabled sessions may result in losing your place on the course.
This course combines both theory and practical sessions and you will be assessed in a variety of ways (activity, group work, photographic and video) which will be presented through a portfolio of evidence.
All our courses are planned around your individual learning needs, with a timetable that clearly identifies the sessions that will be taught. You will be assigned a Programme Lead who will support you throughout your time in College. Teaching staff will work closely with you to help you achieve planned learning goals. Our staff are experienced at delivering classes to meet your needs and will work with you to build your confidence and skills. Our learning centres are equipped with modern resources that will support you to achieve positive outcomes.
You could progress to a degree, an apprenticeship, or into employment.
