What is a T Level?

T Levels are courses for 16 to 18 year olds that can be taken as an alternative to doing A Levels, BTECs or an Apprenticeship. They are for people who aspire to gain careers across a range of technical and vocational industry pathways. A T Level is a nationally recognised qualification that is worth the same number of UCAS points as 3 A Levels.

T Levels provide you with:

• Technical knowledge and practical skills specific to your chosen industry or occupation
• An industry placement (work experience) of at least 45 days in a relevant workplace
• Maths, English and digital skills
