These two year technical programmes are Level 3 courses developed in collaboration with employers and businesses. They will help you to build the knowledge and experience you need, to get the job you want, through a balance of classroom-based theory and an industry work placement. You'll find more information about T Levels in our FAQs section.
T Levels will provide the skills and knowledge you need for work. All T Levels will include an industry placement with an employer so that you can apply your learning in a real workplace environment. Around 80% of your time will be spent in the classroom with the remaining 20% being spent on placement. This differs from an Apprenticeship, which is typically 80% on-the-job and 20% in the classroom and is more suited to those who want to earn a wage and learn at the same time and are ready to enter the workforce at age 16.
How long does a T Level take?
A T Level will take you two years to study full-time and is equivalent to three A Levels.
Who are T Levels for?
T Levels are ideal if you have completed your GCSEs and want to get into a skilled job. T Levels will enable you to build the knowledge and experience to help you get the job you want. Because T Levels are being developed in collaboration with employers and businesses, you will have the skills that employers in your chosen industry need.
