T Levels
T-levels are a new type of qualification that focuses on high-level technical study and work-ready skills. They have been developed to offer a quality alternative to A-levels and will provide young people with a clear route to skilled employment, as well as progression to higher or degree Apprenticeships, or degree-level study at university.
T-levels will combine the career focus and practical elements of current technical and professional qualifications like BTECs and NVQs, with the theory and study of traditional A-levels.
A core component of the T-levels qualification is a 45-day industry-based placement, where pupils will apply the theory they learn in the classroom to the workplace and develop the essential work-ready skills that employers are looking for.
