T Levels

What is a T Level?

T Levels are an alternative to A-Levels, apprenticeships and other 16-19 courses. They are two-year courses that are equivalent to three A-Levels.

The point of difference for T Levels is that they include a 45-day industry placement alongside classroom learning.

To ensure content meets industry standards, T Levels have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses.

This ensures content meets industry needs and prepares students for work, training, or further study.

This allows students to step from a T Level into apprenticeships, university or full-time jobs.
