T Levels

What are T Levels?

T Levels are new courses for 16-18 year olds which follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A levels. These 2-year courses, have been developed working with employers so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships.

T Levels offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days). Students get valuable experience in the workplace and employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry.

T Levels include:

  • 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.
  • Relevant English and maths skills.
  • Common workplace skills.

Students who achieve a T Level will get a nationally recognised certificate which employers will use as evidence in their recruitment.

T Levels will offer students a mixture of classroom or workshop-based learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience.
