We are delighted to announce that the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and Ofqual have accredited the Agriculture, Land Management and Production Technical Qualification (TQ) within the Agriculture, Environmental and Animal Care T Level. The qualification will be available for first teaching from September 2023.

The TQ specifications along with sample assessment materials are available to view.

View the TQ specifications >
What occupational specialisms will be available with ALMP?
In addition to the core content, each student will also complete at least one module of occupation-specific content. The specialisms available in the ALMP T Level are:

crop production

floristry

land-based engineering

livestock production

ornamental horticulture and landscaping

tree and woodland management and maintenance

Following a recent consultation on the draft outline content, The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) will be progressing development of a new T Level Occupational Specialism for Animal Care and Science. The aim of this OS is to provide students with employment or entry into higher education. This OS will be an option within the Animal Care and Management T Level and sit alongside the Animal Care and Management specialism.

The Equine Care and Management Occupational Specialism was paused based on deliverability concerns and the associated standards being up for review. IfATE will begin the process of analysing it's future viability in autumn 2023.
Upcoming validation meetings
We've already received a huge amount of support from providers, employers, industry bodies and technical experts, but we need more feedback to ensure course content is robust, highly relevant and fit-for-purpose.

Validating content involves reviewing content and assessments, providing feedback either as part of a group online meeting or by completing online forms.

If you're a provider, or an employer within the animal industries and would like to be involved the development of this TQ or get more information about the process, please complete the form.
What occupational specialisms will be available with ACM?
In addition to the core content, each student will also complete at least one module of occupation-specific content. The specialisms available in the ACM T Level are:

Agriculture, Environment and Animal Care - T Levels

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
We are developing the T Level Technical Qualifications (TQs) in the two pathways within the Agriculture, Environmental and Animal Care route, with first teaching Agriculture, Land Management and Production from September 2023 and Animal Care and Management from September 2024.

The Agriculture, Environmental and Animal Care T Level contains two Technical Qualifications: Animal Care & Management, and Agriculture, Land Management & Production.

Learners who take either of the qualifications will complete the same Common Core content, which includes topics such as health & safety, sustainability, ethics, business management, professional responsibilities, attitudes and behaviours.

Learners will then study a Core Pathway which leads to an Occupational Specialism.

Within the Animal Care & Management Technical Qualification, topics covered in the core pathways and occupational specialisms include:

Animal Management & Behaviour: Anatomy and physiology, animal health, animal biology, nutrition, animal behaviour, communication and training, animal husbandry, animal welfare and conservation.

Animal Management & Science: Anatomy and physiology, cells and tissues, nutrition, animal behaviour, research methods, genetics, evolution, conservation, animal welfare, animal health, animal husbandry, laboratory skills, microbiology and biochemistry.

Within the Agriculture, Land Management & Production Technical Qualification, topics covered in the core pathways and occupational specialisms include:

Livestock production: biosecurity, anatomy and physiology, diseases and disorders, nutrition, animal health, animal breeding and production, managing livestock, maintaining areas surrounding livestock.

Crop production: biosecurity, plant growth and development, crop yield and quality, establishing crops, managing crops, harvesting and storing crops.

Ornamental and environmental horticulture and landscaping: biosecurity, plant growth and development, establishment, maintenance, installation and management of horticultural areas and designed landscapes.

Land-based engineering: land-based equipment and machinery maintenance and repair, operating principles of different types of land-based machinery and equipment, tools, equipment and materials and their application, machinery and equipment maintenance and repair, diagnostic activities, machinery handover.

Trees and woodlands: biosecurity, plant growth and development, theories and methods used to grow, maintain and manage trees and woodlands, tools, equipment and materials used in tree and woodland management and maintenance, tree felling, skills in growing trees.

Floristry: Biosecurity, business, plant biology, safe working practices, creating designs in media, tied, glued and wired designs, communicating with colleagues and clients, creating designs to meet client requirements, producing designs for events.

T Level Resource Improvement Projects (TRIPs) are an opportunity for providers and other stakeholders to work together to produce resources that will support the planning and delivery of T Levels.

TRIPs are suitable for teachers, managers, and specialist staff, and can also benefit from the involvement of wider stakeholders such as employers, awarding organisations and Higher Education Institutions.

TRIPs will help you to:

identify shared challenges and priority areas of work for T Levels

create, test and develop resources to support T Level delivery

develop teaching practice for T Levels

ensure that T Level students develop the knowledge, skills, behaviours and occupational competencies required.

TRIPs are offered to the sector as pre-agreed projects that will produce specified resources to support teaching, learning and assessment for T Levels. Providers are funded to get involved in TRIPs. The funding is to support staff capacity and staff will have the opportunity to:

shape the content of these projects by informing us of the areas you would like to see covered by additional resources

participate in the resource development for one or more projects

support the sector and success of T Levels.

Although we are not currently looking for providers to develop TRIPs, if you would like to register your interest for future opportunities or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Browse our range of resources

We have a wide range of T Level resources created from previous TRIPs, including lesson plans, assessment materials, schemes of learning, and more.

To access these resources, please sign up or log in to the Professional Development Platform.
