The T Level Technical Qualification in Craft and Design will start in September 2024.  \nT Levels will combine classroom theory and practical learning, and are made up of the following:  \n• Technical Qualification: the substantial component of your course.  \n• Industry placement: of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days) with an employer to make sure you have authentic experience of the workplace.  \nThe Technical Qualification (TQ) is the main classroom-based element of the T Level. During your two-year course, you will learn the core knowledge that underpins the sector, and you will also develop occupationally specific skills that will allow you to enter skilled employment within a specific occupation.  \nWhat is the Craft and Design sector?  \nThe Craft sector contributes approximately £3.4 billion to the UK economy providing goods and services relating to jewellery, textiles, furniture and ceramics 1. There are an estimated 11,620 UK crafts businesses, employing around 150,000 people. Approximately 88% of craft businesses in the UK are sole traders, and craft workers are employed by businesses both within and outside of the creative industries. The UK’s craft sector supports trade and commerce around the world with over £5bn of exports annually. Craft services are essential to the UK’s future as a global, outward-looking, free-trading nation.  \nThe Design sector in the UK is responsible for an estimated £3.949 bn of Gross Value Added (GVA) with approximately 163,000 design and designer fashion jobs in the creative industries. Including all design roles both within and outside of creative industries, the design economy contributes approximately £71 .7bn in GVA. According to the Design Council's report on 'The Design Economy' the contribution of design to the total export of goods and services from the UK is £34bn, equivalent to 7.3 per cent of total UK exports.  \n1 Crafts Council -written evidence (CRF0005): House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee inquiry “A creative future’’ [https://committees.parl](https://committees.parl)[iament.uk/writtenevidence/110746/pdf/](iament.uk/writtenevidence/110746/pdf/)  \nWho is this Technical Qualification for?  \nThis Technical Qualification can only be taken as part of a T Level course and is not available as a stand-alone qualification. It is for post-16 students and is ideal if you are intending to progress directly to an apprenticeship/employment within the Craft and Design sector in areas such as Bespoke Furniture Maker, Garment Maker Jeweller, Silversmith, Ceramics Manufacturer or Textile Designer. Students may also wish to progress to a related apprenticeship, or to further study in higher education.  \nEmployers vary within the profession; from small craft employers and individuals to larger design firms linked to manufacturing. All careers in Craft and Design require good communication skills, creative ideation and practical making skills, time management, attention to detail and the ability to collaborate to meet client needs.  \nWhat does the Technical Qualification cover?  \nThe content is split into a core component that has been created for this T Level Technical Qualification in Craft and Design and a choice of one of four occupational specialisms. The specialisms are:  \n• Jewellery Maker  \n• Ceramics Maker  \n• Furniture Maker or Upholstery Maker  \n• Textiles and Fashion Maker.  \nThe core component provides a broad understanding of the creative industry and covers the following topics:  \n• The creative economy  \n• The individual in the creative industries  \n• Cultural context and vocabulary  \n• Audience  \n• Legislation/regulation  \n• Professionalism and ethics  \n• Equality, diversity and inclusion  \n• Research skills  \n• Project methodology and administration  \n• Continued professional developme","cbCailDkiayWFiz1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailDkiayWFiz1","pdf",253019,"English","# Qualification overview\n## Technical Qualification and industry placement\n# Craft and Design sector context\n## Craft sector impact\n## Design sector impact\n# Eligibility and target learners\n## Entry requirements within T Level\n# Course content and assessment\n## Core component topics\n## Occupational specialisms and projects\n# Progression opportunities\n## Skilled employment routes","[{\"question\":\"Can this Technical Qualification be taken as a stand-alone qualification?\",\"answer\":\"No. It can only be taken as part of a T Level course and is not available on its own.\"},{\"question\":\"How long is the industry placement and who provides it?\",\"answer\":\"Industry placement must be at least 315 hours (about 45 days) with an employer to ensure workplace experience.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the four occupational specialisms and how are they assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The specialisms are Jewellery Maker, Ceramics Maker, Furniture or Upholstery Maker, and Textiles and Fashion Maker.
