Agriculture is a vital part of Cumbria's economy and community. Be part of its future with us. T-Levels bring together academic knowledge with practical experience. The course will give you the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to progress into all areas of agriculture. Our T-Level students will gain direct work experience in placements best suited to their career aspirations. They will spend a minimum of 9 weeks over the 2-year course, working with employers in the industry to develop and apply their knowledge, core skills and professional behaviours within the agricultural sector.
This will give T-Level students a solid foundation to progress onto studying at higher levels at university, a higher level apprenticeship or employment in the industry. T-Level summary:
