Manufacturing Engineering

Course summary

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.
