T 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 is the main classroom-based element oftheT 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.  \nThisT Level Technical Qualification has been developed in collaboration with employers, so the content meets the needs of industry and prepares you for work. It will provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door to skilled employment, an apprenticeship or higher-level study.  \nWhat is the science industry?  \nThe science industry is of critical importance to the United Kingdom, spanning societal, health and economic dimensions. Advancements in healthcare, agriculture and energy production have seen the UK being hailed a global leader in scientific research. Every year the life sciences sector contributes over £70 billion ayear to the UK economy, with 8,800 people directly employed in the biotechnology sector alongside an additional 11,00 indirectly through related activities. Despite this the UK is currently facing a significant workforce shortage in this sector, with approximately 430,000 vacancies in STEM related sectors atthe end of 2023.  \nWho is this Technical Qualification for?  \nThis Technical Qualification can only be taken as part of aT Level course and is not available as a stand-alone qualification. It is for post-16 students and is ideal if you are looking to progress directly into employment within the science sector in roles such as laboratory  \ntechnician, biomedical scientist, food industry technologist, or to science-related apprenticeships, or further studies in the science sector.  \nWhat does the Technical Qualification cover?  \nThe content is split into a Core Component that has been created for this Technical Qualification in Science, and the following Occupational Specialisms:  \n• Laboratory Science  \n• Food Science  \nThe Core Component provides a broad understanding of the science sector inclusive of the following topics:  \n• Units and quantities used in science  \n• Biological molecules  \n• Cell structures  \n• Microbiology  \n• Immunology  \n• Chemical reactions  \n• Rates of reaction  \n• Formulae and equations  \n• Particles and radiation  \n• Electricity  \n• Magnetism and electromagnetism  \n• Waves  \n• Gas laws  \n• Health and safety in a laboratory environment  \n• Ethical considerations in scientific research  \nThe Core Component will be assessed by two examinations and an Employer Set Project.  \nYour Occupational Specialism will allow you to develop the relevant skills in preparation foryour career in the science sector. The Occupational Specialism is assessed via a project that is created collaboratively with employers. The content covers the following topics:  \nLaboratory Science  \n• Scientific laboratory techniques  \n• Standard operating procedures  \n• Relevant health and safety legislation  \n• Chemical calculations  \n• Organic chemistry  \n• Enthalpy  \n• Metabolic pathways and bioenergetics  \n• Genetic applications  \n• Electronics  \n• Data collection and analysis  \n• Good laboratory practice  \n• Good manufacturing practice  \nFood Science  \n• Scientific laboratory techniques  \n• Safety and quality in the food and drink industry  \n• Legislation, regulations and ethical considerations in the food and drink industry  \n• HACCP in the food and drink industry  \n• Microbiology in the food and drink industry  \n• Raw materials in t","cbCaigN28sNFA3KZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigN28sNFA3KZ","pdf",139735,"English","# Qualification Overview\n## Structure and Industry Placement\n## Core Component\n## Occupational Specialisms\n## Assessment and Progression","[{\"question\":\"What is the T Level Technical Qualification in Science?\",\"answer\":\"It is the substantial classroom-based component of a T Level course that builds sector knowledge and occupationally specific skills for science careers.\"},{\"question\":\"Who can take this Technical Qualification and is it available alone?\",\"answer\":\"It can only be taken as part of a T Level course and is not available as a stand-alone qualification for post-16 students.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Technical Qualification assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The Core Component is assessed by two examinations and an Employer Set Project.\"}]","T Level Technical Qualification in Science - Overview | PDF",1792468426,13]
