Summary
The Engineering T Levels are new 2-year courses developed in collaboration with engineering employers and businesses to prepare you for careers in the field of engineering. They are equivalent to 3 A Levels.
As part of your study, you will undertake 18 core units followed by study of your Light and Electric Vehicle occupational specialism. The core component is a highly theoretical aspect covering all aspects of Engineering including Engineering Mathematics, Electrical and Electronic Systems, Applied Physics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Control System, Health and Safety, Project Management, Engineering Business.
