The T Level in Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing, and Control is a two-year course designed for students aged 16-19 who have completed their GCSEs. It's equivalent to three A Levels and combines classroom learning with practical experience to prepare you for a career in engineering and manufacturing.
Five GCSEs at grades 9-4, including English, Maths (Higher) and Science.
The course is divided into two main parts:
1. Core Content: This provides a broad understanding of the engineering and manufacturing industries, covering topics such as:
· Engineering principles
· Materials science
· Quality control
· Health and safety
· Business and commercial awareness
2. Specialist Areas: Machining and Toolmaking, including:
· Use of CNC and manual machining technologies.
· Creating and interpreting technical drawings and specifications.
· Producing precision components using advanced manufacturing techniques.
· Quality control and testing to meet industry standards.
INDUSTRY PLACEMENT:
A key part of the T Level is a mandatory industry placement lasting at least 45 days (315 hours). This gives you hands-on experience, allowing you to apply what you've learned in a real-world setting and develop valuable industry contacts.
Your progress will be evaluated through a combination of:
· Exams: Two externally marked exams covering the core engineering knowledge.
· Employer Set Project: A project designed in collaboration with employers to solve real industry problems, demonstrating your skills and knowledge.
· Practical Assignments: Assessing your ability to apply knowledge in real-world scenarios within your chosen specialism. This is observed and moderated by external assessors
After completing the T Level, you can:
· Start working in roles like engineering technician, manufacturing technician, machinist, welder, or fabricator.
· Begin a higher-level apprenticeship in engineering or manufacturing.
· Continue your studies in higher education, as T Levels carry UCAS points equivalent to three A Levels.
