About the Course
The T-Level Foundation Programme is a one-year course, ideal for students who are looking to progress onto the Level 3 T-Level technical qualification in Science. This programme will help you to develop a broad range of skills, knowledge and behaviours across the five aspects that you need for successful progression to T-Level Science:
- Industry-relevant technical knowledge and skills
- Knowledge and skills for the workplace
- Positive attitude and behaviours
- Skills for successful study
English, maths and digital skills
To support the five areas above, the Foundation programme components include:
- L2 Award in Principles of Applied Science
- GCSEs in Maths and English
- Personal development and study skills projects
- Work experience and work-related activities
- Digital skills
- Pastoral support
The Science content of the course has been designed to provide students with the technical knowledge, skills and understanding essential for the Science sector and provide firm foundations for what will be covered in the T-Level Science.
Relevant and meaningful personal development and enrichment opportunities will support students to develop the study skills they will need for success on T Levels and the positive behaviours and key transferable skills for success in the workplace.Work experience and work-related activities form an important element of the Foundation Programme as this will give students a broad introduction to their chosen T Level route through industry-relevant technical knowledge and practical skills.
You will continue working towards achieving a GCSE grade 4 in English and/or maths if you do not already have this. You will also learn how to apply the English, maths and digital skills that matter in the science sector. Weekly tutorial sessions will provide responsive pastoral care; and develop knowledge and behaviours that promote wellbeing and support students' engagement with their learning on the programme.
