Engineering

From September 2022, in collaboration with City & Guilds, we will be offering the T Level technical qualifications (TQs) in all three pathways within the Engineering and Manufacturing route. These will only be available in England.

Engineering and Manufacturing: Manufacturing, Processing and Control
Engineering and Manufacturing: Maintenance, Installation and Repair
Engineering and Manufacturing: Design and Development

EAL and City & Guilds bring together the strength of two market-leading awarding bodies in qualifications and skills development in the Engineering and Manufacturing sector. Our aims during the development and implementation of this new suite of qualifications are to help people prepare for the world of work, develop in their job, and progress on to their next job.

As we go into the TQ development, we’ve pulled together a list of activities that will ensure you have everything in place.
