Course Overview
The T Level in Maintenance, Installation, and Repair is a 2-year programme developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares you for work. The programme is the equivalent of 3 A Levels and mixes classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience in an industrial placement for a minimum of 45 days.
What will I learn?
The programme consists of a technical qualification including core content and occupational specialisms, alongside an industry placement within the pathway specialism. The core content focuses on knowledge and understanding of business contexts, concepts, theories, principles, and core skills relevant to the engineering industry.
The T Level in Maintenance, Installation, and Repair pathway consists of 4 specialisms outlined below, offered at the specified College campus.
· Mechanical – Chippenham and Salisbury
· Electrical & Electronic - Chippenham and Salisbury
· Mechatronic - Salisbury
· Vehicle - Trowbridge
17 units of learning will support your theoretical knowledge behind engineering to understand the duties and compliances required by engineers. The industry experience will allow you to reflect upon the importance of theoretical knowledge delivered within your first year and gain further skills within your specialist area. This will allow you to network with potential employers, provide you with work experience of at least 45 days, prepare your CV, preparation for interviews, increasing confidence, and potentially secure you a job once completed with T Level. In the second year of this programme you will be undertaking specialist units that are relevant to your specialism. This will be assessed throughout the year by multiple assignments to allow you to demonstrate competence with your specialism.
Study, Assessment and Qualifications
The City and Guilds T Level in Maintenance, Installation, and Repair core content is assessed through two externally set and marked examinations and a substantial practical employer-set project. The occupational specialism is assessed through practical assessments which are relevant to the specialism.
