T Levels – A qualification that counts

T Levels are a new two-year programme choice that follows GCSEs and could give you a head start towards the career you want.

We have worked with employers to ensure these new Technical Qualifications equip you with the skills and knowledge that businesses want, preparing you for work, higher education, or an apprenticeship.

What’s involved in a T Level?

A T Level is made up of the following components:

  1. Technical Qualification = Core + Occupational Specialisms
  2. Industry Placement
  3. English, maths and digital skills (GCSE or Functional Skills at Level 2)

Industry placement

The industry placement is a compulsory part of your T Level, and you must complete it to get your T Level certificate. The DfE has produced the guide below which provides advice and signposts you to useful resources to help you prepare for your placement.
