Engineering and Manufacturing T Levels

T Levels for

At our Industry Excellence Academy, you can study one of the brand-new Engineering and Manufacturing T Level qualifications or Transition Programmes. They have been developed in collaboration with employers, and combine theory, practical and classroom learning with a minimum 45-day industry placement. If you opt to take a T Level, you will spend 20% of your time on an industry placement and 80% in the classroom.

Opportunities in this sector are increasing, with demand for technically minded problem solvers who are responsible for operating machinery, as well as developing and designing new processes. You’ll be learning in a fully simulated environment with industry standard equipment, which includes specialist, bespoke work areas.
