2nd – 6th December marks T Levels Week, a national celebration of this next level, technical qualification. We have been providing T Levels since 2022, and have continued to expand our offering, with a range of exciting courses developing your skills for work in varied industries.
T Levels give you a competitive advantage over others, equipping you with the skills, experience and qualifications needed to start your journey in your chosen career path.
What are T Levels?
T Levels are industry-focused technical courses that combine classroom learning with real-world experience, ensuring you’re fully prepared for your chosen career path.
Equivalent to 3 A Levels, these 2-year qualifications are devised specifically with employers to ensure you learn relevant and up to date practices from the industry sector that interests you most.
They offer a unique blend of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and valuable work placements, providing you with a competitive edge in today’s job market.
How are T Levels different?
T Levels are different to alternative qualifications such as BTECs and A Levels. Whereas they have more of an emphasis on classroom learning, T Levels split your time between traditional classroom and workshop learning in college, and practical, work-based experience at an industry placement.
Your time will be split 80% on classroom learning and 20% on placement, giving you a fantastic balance of skills gained, knowledge learned, and experience earned.
Where can T Levels take me?
A T Level qualification opens up doors to a wide range of exciting opportunities.
T Level qualifications are equivalent to 3 A Levels, offering up to 168 UCAS points and creating a pathway to university study. Alternatively, you may be interested in a degree level apprenticeship, earning a salary whilst gaining a degree. T Levels give you the UCAS points you need to make this a reality.
You may even decide to end your education journey after completing your T Level course. This is no issue, as you will be equipped with an industry recognised qualification, heaps of skills and knowledge for your chosen subject, and experience on a work-based placement.
Regardless of where you decide to go next, a T Level qualification will prepare you to take the next step on your journey.
