T Levels
T Levels are forward-thinking qualifications designed to prepare you for skilled employment, university, or higher apprenticeships.
What are T Levels?
T Levels bridge the gap between colleges, sixth forms, employers, and industry experts. Around 80% of the course is classroom learning, while the remainder involves an industry placement, so you’ll be gaining real-world experience as you learn. It’s a great way to set yourself up for future employment.
If you prefer hands-on learning and putting your knowledge to the test in real-life, T Levels are a great option for you!
Don’t quite have the grades to study a T Level with us?
No problem. If you don’t meet the entry requirements, our T Level Foundation programmes are here to help. These one-year courses provide a direct pathway for progressing onto your chosen T Level the following year. In particular, you’ll get the chance to improve your English and Maths, and get an introduction to the subject area you’re interested in, all while preparing for a smooth transition into Level 3 study.
Why study T Levels?
Developed in partnership with local and national employers, each course is focused on building real-world skills that match today’s workforce needs, including interpersonal skills, leadership skills, problem solving, and sector-specific technical knowledge.
A valid and respected pathway to university and higher-level study.
20% of your course time is spent on a work placement with a real employer.
T Levels are designed with input from over 250 leading employers.
Our state-of-the-art facilities ensure your training is top-class.
Real experience, real employers
Your industry placement is at the very heart of your T Level course. It’s your chance to step into a real workplace, and apply what you’ve learned in College. It also allows you to build the kind of experience that employers and universities really value.
We work with a wide range of trusted employers across different sectors to make sure your placement is relevant, and helps you build valuable connections for the future.
