T Levels

T Levels are new Level 3 qualifications that follow on from GCSEs. They are the equivalent to three A Levels and combine classroom theory, practical learning, and an industry placement. The placement involves working with an employer for a minimum of *315 hours over 45 days to ensure you really get to know the subject.

The two-year T Level courses listed below have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work.

For dedicated students, T Levels provide excellent destinations for students, including full-time skilled employment, higher level apprenticeships and Higher Education degrees.
