Equivalent to three A-Levels
T-Levels are an alternative to A-Levels, apprenticeships and other 16 to 19 courses. Equivalent to three A-Levels, a T-Level focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships.
A 45-day industry placement
Each T-Level includes an in-depth industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. Students get valuable experience in the workplace; employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry.
80% classroom 20% in work
T-Level students spend 80% of the course in the classroom, learning the skills that employers need. The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement, where they put these skills into action.
