T Level Engineering, Manufacturing, Process and Control
T Levels are new courses which will follow GCSEs and will be equivalent to three A Levels. These two-year courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares you for work.
It has been designed to deliver a high level of knowledge about the engineering industry as well as the occupational skills required to enter the industry.
Study at Level:
Level 3
The mandatory element of the qualification is designed to give you the breadth of knowledge and understanding across the Engineering industry but also equips you with necessary occupational and core skills to enter the industry.
The qualification will help you gain an understanding of the engineering industry and the sector, and you will cover topics such as:
- Processes of production and manufacturing
- Materials used in production, manufacturing, and fabricationenvironments
- Specialist machinery utilised in the production and manufacturing environments
- Product and project management
- Quality assurance and quality control
The occupational specialism concentrates more on the key areas of that strand of engineering and focuses on development of practical skills and knowledge, working to tight tolerances and high quality outputs.
You will be required to complete a satisfactory interview, be able to provide a suitable reference, and have a genuine interest in becoming an Engineer prior to applying.
Due to the course content, you must have a minimum of 4 GCSE's which include English at grade 4 (minimum) and Math's at grade 5 (minimum).
All learners must complete a minimum of 315 hours of work placement which makes up part of the overall achievement. This is arranged by the college and is an essential part of the qualification. It takes place towards the end of the second year of the course.
A range of guest speakers and trips into industry settings are planned during the course. The frequency of which is determined by opportunities from our industry contacts.
Teaching is through a blend of theoretical elements and practical activities.
This technical qualification will suit someone who is not yet employed or looking to enter the industry post mainstream education. The structure of the qualification is designed to give learners the breadth of knowledge and understanding across the Engineering industry but also equips them with necessary occupational and core skills to enter the industry.
This qualification is designed to support fair access and allows learners to manage and improve their own performance.
