T Levels are a career-led education route, developed in partnership with employers, that could prepare you for the future. Would you like to increase your employability and prepare you for the future? If so, T Levels could be right up your street! By choosing to study a T Level after GCSEs you will get both classroom and workplace learning to prepare you for the working world.
How do T Levels work?
T Levels are a two-year technical qualification, designed in partnership with employers to equip students with the technical skills needed for work.
You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom, learning the theory and knowledge behind your chosen technical skill; and you’ll spend the other 20% at work putting these skills into action. The start of your course will begin with a core curriculum to give you a good understanding of the subject overall, and you’ll then be able to choose a specialism.
Choosing a T Level could be the start of an exciting career path. As well as giving you hands-on experience in industry, you will develop the knowledge and skills needed for progression straight into a skilled profession or into higher level technical training, such as apprenticeships or higher education.
Alongside this, if you haven’t yet achieved GCSE maths and English then you will also work towards this.

T Levels are a great route but don’t just take our word for it! Hear from T Level students to find out what they are really like:
“I think employers will be attracted to this qualification. At school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do at first and this is more of a direct route. It’s brand new so it’s completely up to date. The placement is a very good opportunity to get a feel for what a job will be like and they might offer trainee jobs or apprenticeships after the T Level."
“This is a much more practical course than the computing GCSE. You’re not just learning computing theory. You’re going behind the scenes and can actually see how well you’re doing in each task, such as what’s working well and what needs improving. It will be good to learn more about coding, C-Sharp and other programming languages It’s an enjoyable course. The teachers are supportive of what you want to learn and achieve. I’m interested in AI and cloud computing.”
