Digital Production, Design & Development - Level 2 Diploma T Level Foundation Programme (September 2024 Start)

The T Level Foundation is a steppingstone specifically set up for learners who have fallen short of the entry requirements to enter the full T Levels Technical Qualification. It is a custom-designed programme fitting the equivalent of a Level 2 qualification but taking alongside vendor qualifications to further prepare learners for the rich depth of content the T Level Technical qualification presents. It is a mixture of classroom learning and online vendor courses to boost technical knowledge for learners.

Successful completion of this T Level Foundation programme will lead to the award of a nationally recognised Technical Diploma in Digital Technologies plus additional vendor certificates from Cisco. This enables learners to acquire strong technical knowledge and IT configuration skills for network devices to harness their progression to the actual T Levels Digital Production programme.

Lessons are packed with hands-on practical activities and use of simulation software to familiarise learners with collaborative development and teamwork. In addition to this, learners will also get the opportunity to put their skills to work in a 35-hour industry placement - thus benefiting from the support of professionals who work in the digital industry.

A mixture of assignments, pop tests and time-constrained assessment.

A GCSE grade profile with a mix of grade levels will be accepted, provided there is a strong commitment to work towards achieving Maths and English (if not already achieved) alongside the curriculum for the Foundation programme.
