T Levels are new courses for 16-18 year olds which follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A levels.
These two-year courses, which launched in September 2020, have been developed working with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work, further training or study.
A T Level qualification offers students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days).
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. Watch this short Government video to hear why students find completing industry placements so beneficial.
• Relevant maths, English and digital 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.
