The technical qualification is made up of two components, both of
which need to be successfully achieved.
The Core Component:
The core content is designed to offer
sufficient breadth of knowledge and skills for the learner to apply in a
variety of contexts related to the industry and those occupational specialisms
linked to this T Level. The core content is the building blocks of knowledge
and skills that will give a learner a broad understanding of the industry and
job roles. At the same time, it will develop the core skills they will need to
apply when working within the industry.
The knowledge
tests and employer-set project are externally assessed.
Occupational
Specialisms:
Occupational
specialisms develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours necessary to achieve
threshold competence in an occupation. Threshold competence is defined as when
a learner’s attainment against the knowledge, skills and behaviours is of a
standard for them to enter the occupation and industry. They must also
demonstrate the ability to achieve occupational competence over time with the
correct support and training.
Occupational
specialisms are externally-assessed.
For more
details please refer to the Technical Qualification Specification under
the Documents tab on this page.
Centres and
providers work with local employers who will contribute to the knowledge and
delivery of training. Employers will provide demonstrations and talks on the
industry and where possible work placements will also be provided by the
employers. Further information regarding placements can be found in the
DfE's Industry
Placements Delivery Guidance document.
We are also
producing a textbook for Management and Administration. Details of this
will be announced in due course.
