What are T Levels?
T Levels are new two-year courses which are taken after GCSEs and are broadly equivalent in size to three A Levels.
T Levels are based on the same standards as apprenticeships, designed by employers and approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (the Institute).
What is the commitment?
Every T Level includes an industry placement with an employer focused on developing the practical and technical skills required for the occupation. These will last a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days) but can last longer.
On completion your T Level certificate includes:
- An overall grade for the T Level, shown as pass, merit, distinction or distinction*
- a separate grade for the core component, using A* to E
- a separate grade for each occupational specialism, shown as pass, merit or distinction
What about English and Maths?
Students are also required to work towards the attainment of Maths and English if they have not already achieved grade 4 at GCSE, as students do on other 16 to 19 programmes.
However, T Level students are no longer required to achieve either a grade 4 in English and Maths GCSE or Level 2 in functional skills to pass their programme.
