Course Overview
T Level programmes are designed to provide progression routes into skilled and technical employment, higher or degree apprenticeships, or university.
They will offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during a 45-day industry placement that will give students practical insights into the sector and an opportunity to embed the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.
You will spend 70-80% of your time in the classroom and 20-30% on a high-quality work placement with an employer.
