Learners must have English and Maths GCSEs, one must be grade C/4 or above and the other at D/3 or above. In addition to this they must have two further good GCSEs at grade D/3 or above. Or, a relevant Level 1 Qualification at Merit with English and Maths at an appropriate level and a recommendation from their tutor.
IT equipment required for the course is provided by the College. However, it would be an advantage if learners have an appropriate device (PC, Laptop, Tablet) at home for independent study.
This course is specifically designed to replicate the T Level experience with the course separated into trimesters. Learners will be assessed using different methods including practical assessments, demonstrations, written assignments and external examinations.
It is anticipated that learners who successfully complete this course will progress to a Level 3 Digital T Level such as the T Level Digital Production, Design and Development or T Level Digital Support. Some learners may pursue apprenticeship avenues or seek full-time employment.
The purpose of this course is to support learners to transition from Level 2 to an appropriate Digital T-Level at Level 3.
