T Levels

A New Pathway Combining Study and Work

T Levels are two-year qualifications that blend classroom learning with a substantial industry placement. Designed in collaboration with employers, they equip you with the technical knowledge and workplace skills needed to move directly into skilled employment, further study or apprenticeships.

You’ll usually study T Levels in a college or sixth form setting, choosing from subjects such as Digital, Health, Education, Science, or Construction. Each course combines classroom learning with a substantial industry placement of at least 45 days. If you want to gain technical knowledge while building real workplace experience, T Levels could be the right path for you.
