T Level Land-based Engineering (Agricultural Engineering)

Course information

T Levels are new courses which will follow GCSEs and will be equivalent to three A Levels. These two-year courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares learners for work.

As technology continues to transform the agricultural sector, skilled and adaptable engineers are in high demand. This T Level at Duchy College Stoke Climsland equips you with core knowledge and practical skills in engineering systems, machinery operation and repair, and workshop techniques. You’ll apply these skills in our state-of-the-art workshops and during an invaluable industry placement.

In your first year, you’ll build a strong foundation in engineering systems, focusing on essential operating processes.

During your second year, you’ll advance your expertise, learning to inspect and test machinery and equipment using diagnostics to identify and resolve faults in engines, hydraulic systems, and braking systems.

Throughout the course, you’ll also gain a thorough understanding of safe working practices, sustainability, operating principles, and the wider agricultural supply chain.
