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.

Spotlight

The tutors continually encourage us to achieve to the best of our ability and potential. For example, in our practical tree work sessions there are some pretty tough challenges, but the teaching team gives me a huge amount of confidence.
