Overview
Course details may be subject to change
This T-Level in Motor Vehicle has been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares you for work.
You will work on the newest systems, technologies and computer devices to ensure you can maintain, repair and diagnose the latest vehicles on the road, including petrol, diesel, hybrid, hydrogen and electric cars.
You will spend 80% of your time at college where you will develop a broad range of core skills from across the whole sector. In addition to this, 20% of your time will be spent with an employer where you will engage in an industry placement in a relevant organisation, giving you hands-on experience in a real-life setting.
This T-Level is a technical qualification that includes the following compulsory elements:
Core theory, concepts and skills for the chosen sector
Specialist skills and knowledge for an occupation or career
An industry placement with an employer which runs for a minimum of 315 hours (45 days) overall and gives you practical insights into the sector and an opportunity to embed the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom
A minimum standard in English, maths and digital provision are also built into the classroom-based element of the T-Level, meaning you will be given a solid foundation of transferable skills.
This two-year qualification aims to ensure you have the knowledge and skills needed to progress into highly skilled employment, an apprenticeship or higher-level study, in the specialist area of automotive engineering.
You will develop the theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and behaviours required to be a successful modern-day automotive technician.
