A LEVEL OPEN EVENT
Wednesday 27 November | 5.30-7.30pm

What are T Levels?

T Levels are a 2-year qualification that are delivered by schools and colleges and are endorsed by business. T Levels provide students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 45 days. They provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door into skilled employment, further study or a higher apprenticeship.

A T Level, will give you a nationally recognised certificate showing the overall grade you achieved - pass, merit, distinction or distinction*. It will also give details of what you learned on the course to help you move into skilled employment or a higher apprenticeship.
A T Level takes two years of full time study and is worth UCAS points – a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A levels at A* – and will be recognised by universities and other education providers so you can choose to continue studying if you wish.
T Levels involve more classroom study than apprenticeships, which means you can experience an industry while you continue your studies. Like A levels, there are no tuition fees to study a T Level if you start before you are 19. Schools and colleges set their own entry requirements, so check their website or contact them direct to find out more.
You can undertake a T Level as an alternative to A levels, other post-16 courses or an apprenticeship. They bring classroom learning and an extended industry placement together on a course designed with businesses and employers.
The T Level is made up of 80% time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement with an employer to give you the skills and knowledge companies look for.
