We will support you in finding relevant work placements but you must demonstrate willingness to travel to your work placements.
These will last a minimum of 315 hours (around 45 days). Employers can offer industry placements as a block, day release or a combination of the two.
It’s really important to understand that successful completion of your Industry Placement hours is a mandatory requirement for passing your T Level course. This placement is not just an add-on; it’s an integral part of your learning journey and is essential for demonstrating the skills and knowledge you’ve gained.
Therefore, please be aware that if the required Industry Placement hours are not completed, you will not achieve your T Level qualification.
We’re here to support you in finding and succeeding in your placement, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to our dedicated Work Experience Team if you have any questions or need guidance.

The College has supported me through thick and thin – especially Ryan Lewis and the other Bricklaying tutors. I wasn’t confident in myself, but Stamford College has really bought me out of my shell and helped me to become the person that I am today.
