T Levels
City & Guilds, in collaboration with EAL, has been chosen as the delivery partner for new Engineering & Manufacturing and Construction & Building Services Engineering T Level technical qualifications by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE), and the Department for Education (DfE).
What are T Levels?
T Levels were introduced in September 2021 for Construction & Building Services Engineering and September 2022 for Engineering & Manufacturing as the main technical qualification options for 16 to 19-year-old students.
They are a two-year programme providing an alternative to apprenticeships and A Levels. T Levels are a Level 3 qualification; one T Level is roughly equivalent to three A Levels. These qualifications are intended to lead to skilled employment opportunities, apprenticeships, further qualifications or higher education courses.
T Levels have been developed with employers and they continue to be involved by reviewing programme content and assessments regularly. This ensures that T Level programmes equip learners with the skills and knowledge required to successfully join the workforce within their chosen sector or trade.
T Levels are available in England only and will become one of the main choices for learners after GCSEs, alongside apprenticeships and A Levels.
T Level programme compulsory elements
- Technical Qualification (TQ), which includes core theory, concepts and skills for an industry area.
- Industry placement with an employer
- Minimum standard in maths and English, if learners have not already achieved them at the start of their T Levels.
