Industry Placement Experience

Industry placements are intended to provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for skilled employment in their chosen occupation and which are less easily attainable by completing a qualification alone. As part of achieving the overall T Level programme, students are required to complete a minimum of 315 hours industry placement (over the 2 year course). Industrial experience will be a real industrial experience further developing the practical skills developed during the lesson. First work experience will be toward the end of year one for a short period. The main focus will be mid-way through year two. Placements will be arranged by BMet, however, we welcome any requests to validate another employer for its appropriateness.
