  Across the two years of the T-Level Study Programme, you will also have the opportunity to focus on areas such as:
  
  Principles of computer science, leading to object oriented programming
  
  Computing and software development project management
  
  Emerging technologies and the ethical impacts
  
  Systems analysis and elements human computer interaction
  
  Business contexts of computing applications
  
  Assessment methods
  
  Through the transition stage, you will have a number of assessment methods, ranging from completion of activities, and report writing, to completion of examinations. Each of these helping to strengthen your understanding, and preparing you for the main T-Level programme of study.
  
  For the T-Level programme you will have a number of assessments that will help to prepare you for the final examinations, and set projects that need to be completed in both years.
  
  Year 1:
  
  Two examinations covering the core components of study.
  
  Employer set project across a 15 hour window.
  
  In preparation for this, you will encounter a number of Fixed Progression Points (FPPs) throughout the year, which will help you to focus your skills, and exam experience, in order to help you to achieve the best grades that you can achieve!
  
  Year 2:
  
  You will undertake a large occupational specialist project, which will test your knowledge and applications of the skills across a wide range of skills and attributes that you have acquired across the two years of study.
  
  To prepare for this, we have put together an exciting programme that would focus on a number of industry-led and inspired tools and techniques. Specifically formulated for your t-level pathway (Digital Production, Design and Development or Digital Support Services).
