T Levels Courses
Discover our range of 2 year A-level equivalent courses designed for 16-18 year olds.
What are T-Levels?
T Levels are a 2-year qualification that you can do as an alternative to A levels or an apprenticeship.
T-Levels bring classroom learning and practical experience together, allowing students to focus on 1 area of study over a 2 year period, with industry placement included in every course.
With a T-level course, youβll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement with an employer. This balance gives our T-level students a well-rounded and desirable skill set, equipping them with the knowledge needed to seamlessly progress into full-time employment or further education in their chosen field.
When you pass your T Level, you will get a nationally recognised certificate showing the overall grade you achieved β pass, merit, distinction or distinction*.
Your qualification will give details of what you learned on the course to help you move into skilled employment or a higher apprenticeship.
Your T Level will be worth UCAS points β a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A levels at A* β and will be recognised by universities and other education providers so you can choose to continue studying if you wish.
T Levels have been designed with leading businesses and employers to give you the knowledge and skills you need.
Your industry placement will last for at least 45 days.
