Level 3 T Level Maintenance Engineering Technologies: Mechatronic

Our T Level course in Maintenance Engineering Technologies (Mechatronic) is designed for students who wish to specialise in the maintenance and repair of mechatronic systems, with an increased emphasis on electrical and mechanical components and systems.

The mechatronics specialism will introduce you to maintenance, installation and repair skills in practical contexts including mechanical and electrical machinery, electronics, control systems, computing, telecommunications, and systems engineering.

T Levels are two-year, Level 3 study programmes that have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses and are equivalent to three A Levels.

You will get a mix of hands-on practical training in workshops, classroom theory learning, and a minimum 45-day industry placement with an employer to give you real experience of the workplace. They also provide excellent progression into skilled employment, degree-level study, higher apprenticeships and university.

As part of this T Level you will develop an understanding of:

• Working within the engineering and manufacturing sectors – an understanding of how materials, conditions and context influence design processes and products 
• Essential mathematics for engineering and manufacturing – a knowledge and understanding of mathematics including standard matrices and determinants and standard trigonometry
• Materials and their properties – understanding material processing techniques and their effects on materials and material quality, the condition of materials, how these are managed, and materials testing methods and techniques 
• Business, commercial and financial awareness – basic commercial principles including commercial priorities and markets, customers/clients/partners and resource allocation
