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
The original outline content included an Occupational Specialism in Habitat Management. This has now been retired permanently and will not form part of the T Level in ALMP. This decision was taken due to a number of factors which meant the Occupational Specialism did not meet the suitability test for the T Level, including deliverability concerns, employer feedback regarding insufficient coverage of the topic to enable threshold competence, and safety and manageability concerns.
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 Management 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 Management and Behaviour specialism.
The original outline content included an Occupational Specialism in Equine Care and Management, which linked to the Equine Management standard. As the standard is currently under review, the Occupational Specialism has been paused and will be reviewed for inclusion in the T Level when the revised standard is published.
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:
- Animal Management and Behaviour
- Animal Management and Science
The two occupational specialisms within the ACM pathway have recently been reviewed and have been renamed the above to more accurately reflect the content with each specialism.
