T-Level Maintenance, Installation and Repair for Engineering and Manufacturing
Light and Electric Vehicle Pathway Starting Sept 2024
MITSkills are offering a 2-year, Level 3 T-Level qualification in Light and Electric Vehicle for post GCSE learners as an alternative to A levels, either post-16 courses or an apprenticeship.
This course has been designed with leading businesses and employers to give you the knowledge and skills you need to begin a career as a Light and Electric Vehicles Technician.

Your industry placement gives you the chance to learn what a real career is like while you continue your studies.
Your T Level will be worth UCAS points (a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A levels at A*) and will be recognised by universities and other education providers so you can choose to continue studying if you wish.
Like A levels, there are no tuition fees to study a T Level if you start before you are 19.
