About T Levels
T Levels are a 2-year qualification that you can do 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.
You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement with an employer to give you the skills and knowledge companies look for.
How do T Levels compare to other courses?
T Levels give you another choice after your GCSEs.
One T Level takes 2 years of full-time study and is equivalent in size to 3 A levels.
How are T Levels graded?
When you pass your T Level, you will get a nationally recognised certificate showing the overall grade you achieved – pass, merit, distinction or distinction*.
Progression
Your qualification will give details of what you learned on the course to help you move into skilled employment or a higher apprenticeship.
Your T Level will be 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.
Employability
T Levels have been designed with leading businesses and employers to give you the knowledge and skills you need.
Your industry placement will last for at least 45 days.
