A collaboration between industry employers and professional bodies, this T level prepares you for the workplace, giving you the hands-on skills and behaviours employers really want. Principles of electrical and electronics design, manufacture, measurement, and testing taught in engaging blended-learning lessons get you up to speed before you move into hands-on sessions. In purpose-built engineering labs and workshops, you work through practical tasks, seeing the theories come to life at your own hand. By the time you get to your 45-day industry placement with an employer, you feel confident you can hold your own in an onsite team, solving problems, designing systems, and interpreting engineering requirements. If you are not quite ready for a T level but want to get on the path to your chosen career, then a transition programme could be for you. This will give you the chance to improve your maths and English (and any other subjects and areas that you need to improve) to move on to a T level the following year. For more information about these courses, please visit our T levels course page on our website. If you are aged 16 to 18, you will be enrolled on a study programme. This will include retaking GCSEs or undertaking Functional Skills in English and maths if you haven’t already achieved a grade 4 or above. You will take part in activities that help you to develop your personal skills, such as building your character and confidence. This will help you to live well and move into your chosen career.
T levels are for people who are 16-18 on 31 August on the date that they start the course. Standard entry to this course requires one reference. It is desirable that you can demonstrate a minimum of 90% attendance at your last place of work or study. You will also need a GCSE grade 5 in maths, together with 3 further GCSEs at grade 4 including English and science. If you were previously studying at the college, you will need to have attained a Level 2 Diploma in Engineering, plus GCSE English grade 4 and Maths at grade 5. When you enrol, you will be on a 6-week probationary period. During this time, we will monitor your attendance, attainment and attitude toward study. At the end of the 6 weeks, we will talk to you about whether you should continue with the T level or whether an alternative course would be better suited to you. If you don’t meet these entry requirements but want to start on your chosen career path, then you can apply for the Level 2 EAL Diploma in Engineering Operations during which you will have the opportunity to resit Maths/English GCSE to obtain the necessary entry grades.
To monitor your practical knowledge and skills, the course has regular tasks and assignments. There are also several formal assessments during the two years: external exams, controlled assessments, practical summary assignments and an employer-led set project. Together, the assessments generate an overall grade of pass, merit, distinction or distinction*.
