YOUR INPUT ON NEW QUALIFICATION REQUESTED

Dealers are being asked to spend a few moments, offering their input to an industry survey.

The proposed Land-based Engineering Level 3 T level qualification due to be introduced in 2022 / 23 is in the process of being formulated.

T level qualifications are new 2 year level 3 study programmes that will include the following mandatory elements;

• A core set of underpinning knowledge, concepts and skills tailored to the chosen industry and occupation:
• Specialist training covering occupational or industry-specific skills
• An industry placement with an employer which will last for a minimum of 45 working days

David Kirschner, independent consultant to Land-based Engineering and T Level Panel member, said, "The purpose of the T level is to ensure students have the knowledge and skills needed to progress into skilled employment or higher level training relevant to the T level qualification undertaken. This qualification will be a vital link for those leaving education and joining industry.

"This is the opportunity for those involved in all aspects of our industry and training provision to have an input to ensure that the Land-based Engineering T level qualification meets the needs of industry."
