Why T-levels

CREATED WITH BUSINESS
T-levels have been designed with leading businesses and employers to give you the knowledge and skills you need.

More than 250 businesses – including Fujitsu and Skanska – have been involved in the initial stages so you can be confident your T-level will move you to the next level.

GET AHEAD IN YOUR CAREER
T-levels give you the chance to learn what a real career is like while you continue your studies.

Your industry placement will last for at least 45 days – when and how you complete it depends on the T-level, college and employer.

QUALIFICATIONS THAT COUNT
When you pass your T-level, you will get a nationally recognised certificate showing the overall grade you achieved – pass, merit, distinction or distinction*. It will also give details of what you learned on the course to help you move into skilled employment or a higher apprenticeship.

AWARDED UCAS POINTS
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.

LEARN YOUR WAY
T-levels involve more classroom study than apprenticeships, which means you can experience an industry while you continue your studies.

Like A-levels, there are no tuition fees to study a T-level if you start before you are 19.
