T Levels are a brand new 'gold standard', 2 year Level 3 qualification that will give you a head start towards the future you want. Developed by employers they are equivalent to 3 A Levels.
T Levels combine classroom learning with an extended industry placement, on a programme designed with employers and businesses.
They are ideal if you have finished your GCSEs and want the knowledge and experience to get straight into employment, an Apprenticeship or higher education. You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 315 hour placement, where an employer will give you the knowledge and skills companies look for.
There are new fast-developing technologies in all sectors of work – by creating qualifications with employers and businesses, curriculum stays current and in line with latest industry requirements.
T Levels include:
• A technical qualification, which will include:
- Core theory, concepts and skills for an industry area
- Specialist skills and knowledge for an occupation or career
• An industry placement with an employer
• A minimum standard in maths and English, if students have not already achieved them
T Levels take 2 years of full-time study and are equivalent to three A Levels.

The T Level certificate will include:
• An overall grade for the T Level, shown as Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction*
• A separate grade for the core component, using A* to E
• A separate grade for each occupational specialism, shown as Pass, Merit or Distinction
It will also include confirmation that you have:
