Course Overview

This bespoke course has been designed to support those not yet ready for a Level 3 T Level. It is a challenging fast-track course delivered over one year that includes a mix of content from the T Level such as a nationally set employer project and work experience and includes a significant amount of English and maths.

The breadth of content will ensure you are able to apply your skills in a variety of environments for different purposes.

Topics may include:

• Health and safety
• Land-based machinery operation
• Plant and soil sciences
• Tree identification and selection
• Maintenance of trees, woodland and forests.

Assessment Methods

This is undertaken through exams, practical projects set by employers, assignments, case studies, practical assessments and presentations. This qualification includes a mixture of classroom learning, practical skill development and on-the-job experience during an industry placement.

Progression Options

On successful completion of the course and meeting the grade and GCSE requirements you could progress to a T Level or an appropriate Level 3 programme (subject to a successful interview). Alternatively, you could progress to an Apprenticeship if you decide a work-based route is more appropriate for you.
