T Level


T Levels are a new technical based qualification being introduced between 2020 and 2022 in England. The aim of the new T Levels is to improve the teaching and administration of technical education which will enable students to directly enter employment on completion of Sixth Form. T Levels are two-year courses that can be studied after GCSEs. These qualifications will be a mix of theoretical work learnt within the classroom at Sixth Form secondary school and two industry practical placements with local employers working in partnership with the Sixth Form. The T Levels will be a Level 3 qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework.
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service has said that the highest T Level qualification, a starred distinction, will be worth the equivalent of three A*s at A Level when a student is being considered for a place in higher education, giving them 168 UCAS points; the highest A Level result is worth 56 points.
T Levels will cover the following subject areas:
