What are T Levels? T Levels are courses for 16- to 18-year-olds that are studied at the same level as doing A Levels. They are for young people who prefer a more technical education when they come to College, rather than following a purely academic pathway, or a work-based apprenticeship. They offer a nationally recognised certificate which employers use in their recruitme
T Levels provide a mixture of: • Technical knowledge and practical skills specific to the student’s chosen industry or occupation. • An industry placement of at least 45 days in their chosen industry or occupation. Watch this short Government video to hear why students find completing industry placements so beneficial. • Relevant Maths, English and digital skills. • Common workplace skills.
What can I do with a T Level qualification? When you have completed a T Level course, you will be able to choose
between moving into: • A skilled occupation.
• Higher or degree level apprenticeships. • Further study including Higher Technica • Qualifications or Higher Education.
