Background
Launched in September 2020, T Levels are new 2-year courses which are taken after GCSEs and are broadly equivalent in size to 3 A Levels. These courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and education providers so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for entry into skilled employment, an apprenticeship or related technical study through further or higher education.
WMG Academy for Young engineers is a 14 - 19 school with a specialism in engineering and are currently running a T Level in Engineering Manufacture, Process and Control. As part of the delivery of the curriculum the students will undertake a range of practical and machining tasks in our workshop.
