What are T Levels? T Levels are a new two-year qualification for 16 to 19 year olds. Designed with employers, eachT Level is equivalent to 3 A Levels and will help young people develop the knowledge, attitude and practical skills to thrive in the workplace. Entry requirements 5 GCSE s, grades 4/C 9/A*, including English and Maths T Levels will offer learners a mixture of classroom learning and on-the-job experience during an industry placement of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days). They will provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door into skilled employment, higher-level study or an Apprenticeship.
Why are they needed? Many employers face a skills shortage that could impact the future success of their businesses. In response, the government has worked alongside more than 220 employers to design T Level courses that deliver the skills organisations need. T Levels are part of the government s plan to simplify vocational education and create a system that you can trust and understand. They ll provide a clear and high- quality, technical alternative to the current range of post-16 education and training options. T Levels will become one of the main choices for learners after leaving school, alongside Apprenticeships and A Levels.
