The Next Level Qualifications
We are delighted to announce that the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and the Department for Education (DfE) has awarded City & Guilds in collaboration with EAL, to be the delivery partner for new T Level technical qualifications (TQs) in Engineering and Manufacturing, from September 2022.
In collaboration with EAL, City & Guilds will develop and deliver three Engineering and Manufacturing T Level TQs. This follows on from last year's successful partnership to start delivering Construction qualifications in Wales, and the T Level in Construction: Building Services Engineering from September 2021.
What are T Levels?
T Levels are a new two-year programme choice that follows GCSEs. They have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses to ensure the content prepares learners for the world of work and meets industry needs.
T Levels are available in England only and will become one of the main choices for learners after GCSE alongside apprenticeships and A-levels.
The T Level programme includes the following compulsory elements:
- a TQ which includes: core theory, concepts and skills for an industry area
- an industry placement with an employer
- a minimum standard in maths and English if learners have not already achieved them at the start of their T Levels.
