What are T Levels?

These are a two-year high-level qualification giving you a new option after GCSEs, and they are designed to give you a head start towards the career you want.

The T in T Levels stands for Technical: this is because they launch a new system of technical education that ranks alongside the traditional academic options for learners aged 16-19. 

T Levels are an ideal way to combine the benefits of both practical and theory-based learning. Over the course, students get a mix of 80 per cent classroom-based learning and 20 per cent on the job experience in the workplace.

T Levels have been developed in close collaboration with employers and businesses to ensure their content meets industry needs and prepares students better for the world of work. 

This means you can be confident that your T Level qualification will move you onto the nexT Level.
