Course Overview
This qualification is designed for 16–19 year olds who want a practical route into engineering. It is ideal for students interested in how mechanical, electrical and control systems work together, and supports progression into skilled employment, a higher or degree apprenticeship, or further technical study in engineering and mechatronics.
You will also complete a minimum of 315 hours work placement with an employer as part of this T Level programme. This will allow you to further your practical skills learnt at college in a real-world environment, and develop your professional behaviour.
You will study core engineering knowledge alongside specialist mechatronic content, focusing on integrated systems used in industry. You will develop skills in maintenance planning, fault diagnosis, installation and repair, safe working practices and professional behaviours, combined with a substantial industry placement to build real world experience using industry standard equipment.
You will be taught by industry experts at our state-of-the-art Engineering Centre. The multi-million centre has the very best and most up-to-date equipment and tools required to prep you for a career in mechatronics engineering.

Core Skills Gained:
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including maths and English at grade 5. A science, engineering, or technology subject at Grade 4 or above is also strongly preferred. You must also have a clear interest in engineering and technical problem solving abilities.
You can progress to a higher education course, an apprenticeship, or directly into employment.
Job roles include Maintenance Engineering Technician, Mechatronics Technician, Electromechanical Engineer, Automation or Controls Technician, Manufacturing Engineering Technician, and Field Service Engineer. These roles are typically based in manufacturing, processing, utilities, transport, or advanced engineering environments.
The course is assessed through two written exams, a real world employer set project, and a practical occupational specialism assignment. A minimum 315 hour industry placement is also required to build workplace skills, though it is not graded.
