Job description

Craft and Design T Level Examiner Job Role

Craft and Design T Level Examiner Job Role:

What are T Levels?

T Levels follow GCSEs and will be equivalent to three A levels. These two-year courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses, so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work. T Levels offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 45 days. They provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door into skilled employment, further study or a higher apprenticeship.

The Role
