WHAT ARE T LEVELS?

TWO-YEAR QUALIFICATION

EQUIVALENT TO 3 A LEVELS

T Levels are designed with leading businesses and employers to ensure you gain the knowledge and skills that employers are looking for.

T Levels are ideal if you know the area or industry you would like a career in and prefer a practical course designed by employers but also want to spend time within a learning environment.

The industry placement will be at the employer’s premises and is unlikely to be paid, as it is part of the course of study, but support for travel and expenses may be available.

MEET EVIE “I initially chose A Levels but soon realised I learn best through hands-on experience, so the T Level in Childcare was a perfect fit. My tutors and mentors have been very supportive and always offer new opportunities. I’ve enjoyed learning about child development and seeing it first-hand during my placement at a primary school. In the future, I hope to specialise in Special Educational Needs (SEND) and complete my teacher training.”
