After completing your qualification, you can explore a wide range of careers, including:
We are currently offering a T Level in Maintenance, Installation and Repair for Engineering and Manufacturing. As part of this course, you will have the opportunity to specialise in light and electric vehicles.
What is a T Level?
T Levels are the next-level qualification that replaces our Level 3 BTEC qualifications. They are widely recognised by universities and employers and allow you to gain skills that will help you to progress on to your chosen career, or further study at university or a higher-level apprenticeship.
One T Level is equivalent to 3 A Levels, and you will spend 45 days of your course on an industry placement relevant to your course.
Why study a T Level?
This new qualification has been developed in collaboration with employers and education providers, giving you skills that meet the need of the industry and allows you to enter skilled employment or a relevant university course.
