A revolution in technical education
T Levels
T Levels are a high-quality, work-focused alternative to A Levels for those aged 16 – 18. These two-year courses are designed with employers to intimately reflect the needs of the sectors and occupations they’re designed to serve.
After completing their two-year T Level, students will have the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviours to successfully progress into work or higher-level study.
Innovative qualifications
We use deep insight into what employers need to design qualifications for a future highly skilled, adaptive workforce. Our T Levels come under three main subject areas:
Key points you need to know about T Levels:
- Courses last two years
- 1 T Level is equivalent to three A Levels
- Created in collaboration with employers
- Include a substantial industry placement
- Attract UCAS points
- Support progression into skilled work and higher or degree level apprenticeships, higher level technical study, including university.
