What are T Levels?
T Levels are a technical-based qualification that combine dynamic classroom-based learning with hands-on experience in a professional workplace. Leading businesses and employers helped design T Levels to give young people the knowledge and experience they believe is required to prepare students for working life.
Who can study T Levels?
T Levels are a 2-year qualification aimed at 16–19-year-olds and are an alternative to the traditional A levels, apprenticeships, or vocational qualifications.

How does a T Level course work?

All T-Level students will complete an industry placement that lasts a minimum of 45 days, allowing the student to gain valuable time within a professional workplace and showcase upcoming industry talent to local employers.
What qualifications do I need to be accepted for a T Level?
Requirements will slightly vary depending on the course; however, most T Levels require 5 GCSEs (graded 9-4) including English and maths.
