We will invite you to a course information meeting event where you will receive information, advice, and guidance about the course you have applied for.

This will be an opportunity for you to gain valuable information about the course and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

You will also be informed about the requirements of the Industry placements, the model of this being delivered (dependant on T Level Pathway) and the commitment this will require as a T Level cannot be fully achieved if the placement hours are not fulfilled.

You will need to provide a copy of your last school report and/or a reference from an employer or relevant professional; this will include attendance. This is to ensure we can support you to be able to achieve well on the course.

Applicants with 85% or below attendance will have been deemed not to have met this criterion.

All applicants are given an opportunity to discuss any evidence-based mitigating circumstances that may have affected the reference/school report.

We are firmly committed to finding the right course for you to ensure you can flourish.

The T Level is delivered through classroom-based and practical learning, at college and on industry placement.

The technical qualification is the main classroom-based element of the course and consists of the core component and occupational specialism component.

The learning will take place through classrooms, workshops and animal care centres, and also through work-based placement.

T Levels are equal to 3 A Levels, and upon successful completion of the T Level in Animal Animal Care and Management, students can progress onto higher education and higher level qualifications.

There is also an opportunity for students to progress into higher-level apprenticeships or directly into employment in the animal care and management sector.

As a City of Bristol College student, you may incur additional costs to attend your course. For example, you may likely need to pay for travel and stationery.

Many courses offer learning opportunities that you may need to pay for. This may include things like study visits and visiting speakers. We will let you know in advance if there will be additional costs.

If you are on a limited income, you may be able to receive help from our Learner Support Funding Bursary.
