Blackpool and The Fylde College continues to deliver on T level success Read the full article What our students say... I liked that the T Level was hands-on, which gives you a head start whether you’re going on to university or getting a job. I really enjoyed my placement because I got to work alongside the healthcare assistants and work with patients at different stages of their care. - Nick, Health T Level I found GCSEs difficult, and I didn’t want the same emphasis on theory in my next step. T Levels suited me as I got to see the theory in action, so it made a lot more sense as I had experienced it. - Andrew, Early Years Education T Level The placement made me want to be a paramedic even more than before. Being able to get the experience and carry out tasks but also learn from the medical staff and paramedics was really valuable. - Hollie, Health T Level I chose T Levels because I am a visual learner and it’s been a whirlwind throughout. I feel like all of the hard work has paid off. I got to work at an incredible place and have been supported throughout, which allowed me to grow and set me up for employment. - Cordelia, Cyber Security T Level Prev Next 100% Pass rate for T Level students 60% of all T Level students achieved a Merit Grade or above 53% planning to go to university, 26% into apprenticeships, 21% into employment T Levels Available Business & EnterpriseCourse TitleQualificationDurationBusiness Skills - Pre T LevelLevel 21 YearBusiness Management and AdministrationT Level2 Years Children, Young People & FamiliesCourse TitleQualificationDurationEducation and Childcare - Pre T LevelLevel 21 YearEarly Years EducationT Level2 YearsEarly Years Education (Primary Teaching)T Level2 Years Computing & Digital TechnologiesCourse TitleQualificationDurationDigital Technology with Games Development - Pre T LevelLevel 21 YearDigital Support Services (Cyber Security)T Level2 YearsDigital Production, Design and DevelopmentT Level2 Years ConstructionCourse TitleQualificationDurationBuilding Services Engineering for Construction (Electrotechnical Engineering)T Level2 YearsBuilding Services Engineering for Construction (Plumbing and Heating)T Level2 YearsDesign, Surveying and PlanningT Level2 YearsOnsite Construction: Carpentry and JoineryT Level2 Years Employer Partner "Much of our engineering workforce qualified through programmes at B&FC and we see the benefit of a local college providing quality learning opportunities."- Westinghouse, Springfields Creative ArtsCourse TitleQualificationDurationCraft and Design (Textiles and Fashion Maker)T Level2 Years EngineeringCourse TitleQualificationDurationEngineeringLevel 21 YearEngineering and Manufacturing (Design and Development)T Level2 YearsEngineering and Manufacturing Process and Control (Fitting)T Level2 Years Health & Medical ProfessionsCourse TitleQualificationDurationHealth (NHS Future Talent Programme)T Level2 YearsHealth (NHS Future Talent Programme - Therapy)T Level2 Years Marketing, PR & Event ManagementCourse TitleQualificationDurationMarketing, Sales and ProcurementT Level2 Years Media Production, Film and TelevisionCourse TitleQualificationDurationMedia, Broadcast and Production (Content Creation and Production)T Level2 Years ScienceCourse TitleQualificationDurationScience - Pre T LevelLevel 21 YearScienceT Level2 Years Employer Partner "I wouldn't hesitate to offer another B&FC student a placement with Code Galaxy and think other companies would find it just as rewarding as we have."- Code Galaxy Close Previous Next T Level Results Day 2024 Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next Employer Partner "Blackpool Teaching Hospitals enjoys an excellent partnership with B&FC and we have provided fantastic opportunities for those wanting to work in the health sector."- Blackpool Teaching Hospitals Why choose B&FC for your T Level?Long established links with local employers mean we are able to source fantastic industry placements.Industry expert tutors can share their real-world experience in their particular subject area.Outstanding facilities in technical areas with ongoing investment to ensure equipment, workshops and classrooms remain cutting edge.

This was especially pleasing for Tia who had studied the first year of her course elsewhere and nearly failed.At B&FC, however, she found the tutors truly inspirational and particularly enjoyed her T Level placement at a local school where she was able to put so much of what she'd learnt into practice and also acquire numerous practical skills from the teachers there.Tia is now off to study a degree in primary education at university with a place guaranteed by her T Level success. Asked whether she'd recommend the qualifcation to others, Tia didn't hesitate:"I'd 100% recommend T Levels to anyone who was thinking of doing one."
