Start a T-Level

T Levels are a 2-year qualification designed to give you a head start towards the career you want. A nationally-recognised qualification that is worth the same number of UCAS points as 3 A levels.

What is it?

2-year qualification that you can do as an alternative to A levels, other post-16 courses or an apprenticeship
80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement with an employer
If you feel you are not ready for a T Level there is a T Level Transition Programme which is a 1-year post-GCSE course designed to prepare you for your chosen T Level. It will give you knowledge, practical and study skills, and work experience to excel in your subject. T Level Transition Programme Guide for Students (publishing.service.gov.uk)
