How is the course assessed?
Assessment overview: Learners will be assessed against the following assessment themes: Health & safety Design & planning Manufacturing Reports The core component will be assessed through a project set by employers in the industry and two externally-set exams. The occupational specialism in mechanical engineering is assessed through a project that is created in conjunction with relevant employers. The engineering common core is graded overall A–E plus ungraded (U). The Occupational Specialisms are graded overall Distinction, Merit, Pass and Ungraded. T Level qualification grade will be overall Distinction, Distinction, Merit, Pass and Ungraded.
