Search our T Level Courses Each T Level includes an in-depth industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. Industry placements give learners an opportunity to develop their practical and technical skills in a role directly relevant to their course. They also give employers the chance to ensure that young people are developing the skills and experience that industry needs. Industry placements can vary in length but must last for a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days). Most placements will last an average of 350 hours (approximately 50 days) although some will be much longer if required for a particular specialism. The College has a dedicated Work Experience Team that will support you with your industry placement. The College works work with over 500 local, national and international employers across a wide variety of industries and are extremely proud of our partnerships. The College is proud to be working with award winning employers across the UK. We caught up with Davinder Lotay, Managing Director of Altimex, to find out more about the benefits of T Levels and why learners should consider them when it comes to looking at next steps… “T Levels provide a much more hands-on experience within a business environment, allowing learners to expand their knowledge based on theory.” Aaron Shephard College course: Engineering BTEC Extended Diploma Level 3 and participated in a T Level pilot programme Progressing to: Lancaster University to study a Master’s Degree (MEng) in Electronics & Electrical Engineering “After completing GCSEs and having an interest in engineering, I looked for the next step. This I found in the BTEC Level 3 Engineering course at CCSW. The course included work experience which gave me access to a great team both in finding the work experience as well as the company itself. Because of the support from College staff and staff at my work experience placement, I developed an interest in CAD and 3D printing that led into coding. The next step for me is Lancaster University where I’ll be studying a Master’s Degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering.” FAQs Why should I choose a T Level? How are T Levels different?
