You may be asking, what exactly is land-based engineering? A full, deep dive into exactly what land-based engineering is can be found over here.

When it comes to next steps for your students, there are several educational pathways into land-based engineering including T Levels, Apprenticeships and a Degree. Take a look below for more information on each of these.

If you’d like more information on any of aspect of land-based engineering, please do reach out to us via the contact form and we’d love to start a conversation today.

Get involved with Land-based Engineering!
We’re only an email away if you’d like to find out more about the exciting world of land-based engineering. We’re happy to attend careers fairs, or visit to meet with students and staff to discuss the industry. Let’s start the conversation today.

T Levels

T Levels have been recently introduced by government to ensure vocational competency of students are catered for.

T Levels are a new two-year programme choice that follows GCSEs and prepares learners for work, further training or study.

The Agriculture, Land Management and Production T Level is a great STEM option for anyone interested in an exciting career in land-based engineering.
A student on the Agriculture, Land Management and Production T Level will be exposed a wide selection of specialisms including land-based engineering.
More information on T Levels and the curriculum from the government website.
Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to start a career. Getting paid a wage, feeling part of a team, all whilst still learning and gaining valuable qualifications.

As just mentioned, apprentices actually earn while they learn, with 80% of their time being spent at a place of work, such as an agricultural dealership and 20% receiving education through either a college or training provider.

An apprenticeship is a nationally recognized qualification that can set an individual up for a fantastic career, as they will gain valuable skills when working with experienced staff and mentors within the workplace.

From a financial perspective, not only do apprentices develop their career without incurring any student debt, but they also receive paid holiday leave.

There are two main levels of apprenticeship within Land-based Engineering

Level 2 Apprenticeship (Technical Certificate in Land-based Engineering)

Level 3 Apprenticeship (Advanced Technical Extended Diploma in Land-based Engineering)
Degree Options

The Degree pathway is great for students who are looking to stay on for A Levels and then pursue the University route. Harper Adams University offers two main courses.
