The Course

This two-year T Level combines classroom learning, practical training and industry experience to prepare you for a career in engineering and manufacturing. An industry placement with an employer forms an important part of the programme, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills in a real workplace.

You will choose one of the following occupational specialisms:

  • Maintenance Engineering Technology: Mechanical
  • Maintenance Engineering Technology: Electrical and Electronic
  • Light and Electric Vehicles

Topics include:

  • Engineering and manufacturing
  • Engineering representations
  • Mathematics for engineering
  • Science for engineering
  • Materials and their properties
  • Mechanical principles
  • Electrical and electronic principles
  • Mechatronics
  • Engineering and manufacturing control systems
  • Industry standards and operating procedures
  • Health and safety
  • Quality assurance and continuous improvement
  • Project and programme management
  • Business and commercial awareness
  • Professional skills and behaviours

The core element provides a broad understanding of engineering and manufacturing, covering the technical principles that underpin the industry. This includes mechanical, electrical and electronic principles, mechatronics, control systems and materials, alongside the mathematics and science used within engineering.

Your chosen occupational specialism allows you to develop more focused skills in mechanical maintenance, electrical and electronic maintenance, or light and electric vehicles. Practical learning supports the technical knowledge gained in the classroom and helps build confidence working with industry processes and equipment.

The programme also explores the wider engineering workplace, including health and safety, quality assurance, continuous improvement, project management and professional responsibilities. Your industry placement provides valuable experience of applying these skills and working alongside industry professionals.

By the end of the programme, you will have developed a combination of technical knowledge, practical skills and workplace experience, preparing you to progress to skilled employment, an Apprenticeship or higher-level study within engineering and manufacturing.

Typically, you will need 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including a 4/4 combination for Maths and English.

This technical qualification focuses on the development of knowledge and skills needed for working in the maintenance engineering industry, which will prepare students to enter the industry through employment or as an apprentice. Furthermore, the completion of this qualification gives students the opportunity to progress onto higher education courses and training.

Learners following the Light and Electric Vehicle Occupation Specialism could gain a range of skills and experience and substantial experience of working for employers, which will give you a number of progression options including:

  • Motorcycle technician (repair and maintenance)
  • Motor vehicle service and maintenance technician (light vehicle)
  • Bus and coach engineering technician
  • Heavy vehicle service and maintenance technician
  • Accident repair technician
  • Vehicle damage panel technician

You could also progress to higher level study on courses such as HNC/D, foundation degree and degree programmes at the College or university.
