Engineering T Level

This course is suitable for students who want to go on to employment or a higher level 4/5 apprenticeship within the engineering sector. Students can also use the course to progress to universities, as the course carries UCAS points.

You will gain an understanding of the engineering sector, covering topics such as customer and client requirements, principles of design, design processes and communication. The core covers relevant maths and science as well as materials, mechanical principles, electrical and electronic principles, and mechatronics.

You will also learn about the different engineering sectors, health and safety, project management, quality control and manufacturing past, present and future. The course also involves a work placement of about 45 days.

There will be exams for the core components at the end of the first year and an employerset project devised by the exam board. This consists of a series of different tasks carried out under controlled conditions, allowing you to demonstrate core skills including research, design, planning and presentation. In the second year you will complete an externally set assignment with practical elements involved.

Five GCSEs at grade 5 or above including Science, Maths and English.

This T Level will prepare you for entering employment in an engineering setting, going onto to a higher-level apprenticeship, or university.
