T Levels Explained

The next level qualification.

What are T Levels?

• Technical qualifications at level 3, equivalent to taking 3 A Levels.
  
  
• For those aged 16-19 who have finished their GCSEs and want the knowledge and experience to progress into a job, apprenticeship or Higher Education.
  
  
• Nationally recognised two year programmes: you’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom learning and 20% on a minimum 45 day placement in a role which is relevant to your course e.g. you could spend 10-20 weeks working 2-4 days per week.
