T Levels – The Next Level Qualification!

WHAT ARE T LEVELS?

T Levels are a qualification choice that follow GCSEs and give students a head start towards the career they want. They will suit students who wish to start working towards a skilled occupation, prefer a practical approach to learning and want a predominantly learning environment based course.
Drawing on features of the world’s best technical education systems, these 2-year courses have been designed in partnership with employers to ensure students gain the knowledge, skills and experience businesses need so they are ready to get good jobs when they qualify.

WHAT DO T LEVELS INCLUDE?

T Levels combine learning environment learning, practical skills development and a substantial industry placement and will support progression into skilled employment, an apprenticeship or into further related study. Each T Level begins with core theory, concepts and skills relating to an industry or skill area and students will then be able to choose one or more occupational specialism(s).

WHEN DID T LEVELS START?

Selected colleges and other post-16 providers began teaching the first T Levels in September 2020. More courses will rollout in a greater number of providers through to 2023.
