What are T Levels?
A T Level is a two-year technical education course for 16-19 year olds that follow GCSEs and one T Level is equivalent to three A Levels. T Levels have been co-designed with over 250 global and leading employers specifically to gain the knowledge and skills that employers need for the jobs of the future.
What are the benefits?
- T Levels take two years and are the equivalent to 3 A Levels
- You’ll go beyond acquiring basic knowledge and understanding, the T Levels are higher level study and skills
- You’ll receive up to 168 UCAS points for university
What is an industry placement?
A key aspect of all T Levels is the completion of an extended industry placement. Lasting for a minimum of 45 days (315 hours) industry placements are high quality, meaningful, and relevant to the T Level programme.
They offer the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and skills learnt in the classroom, and provide practical hands-on training in a real work environment.
