What are T Level Courses

T Levels are two-year technical courses designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed for specific careers and industries. They are equivalent to three A Levels and are based on the same high standards as apprenticeships. Developed with input from employers, T Levels combine classroom learning with practical training to help students prepare for their future careers.

 

Each T Level includes around 1,800 hours of study over the two years, along with a 45-day industry placement that gives students valuable workplace experience. They are best suited for students who already have an idea of the occupation or industry they want to enter, as the courses are focused on developing skills for specific job roles.
