T Levels

No, we still offer other vocational options for students aged 16-19 years old that will allow you to progress to higher study, apprenticeships or employment, as well as Apprenticeships of all levels.

T Levels are equivalent to three A Levels, so you can progress to wherever you would like to go.

You can choose to progress to a degree or other higher study, an Apprenticeship or straight into skilled employment.

T Levels are designed to provide you with the practical skills you need, whilst A Levels focus more on the theory.

One T Level is equivalent to three A Levels and you will be awarded UCAS points. This is because on a T Level, you study 1 subject with different pathways, in order to gain in depth knowledge and skills in your chosen area. 

Each T Level is a two-year programme and includes an industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. You will spend 80% of your time in the classroom learning the skills that employers require and the 20% in industry, putting these skills into action to gain real experience.

T Levels are designed to bring classroom learning and work experience closer together and you will spend 80% of your time in the classroom learning the skills, with the other 20% spent in the workplace putting them into practice.

This is different from an Apprenticeship, where the focus is more on workplace training. On an Apprenticeship, you will spend 80% of your time in a real, full-time job, with 20% of the time spent in a classroom being supported.

We are accepting applications from September 2022, in which you will begin the course in September 2023.

You will usually need around 4 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above, including English and Maths in order to study a T Level. 

Each course is different, so please check the entry requirements of the T Level you are interested in.
