T Levels

T-levels are new, government-backed, career focused qualifications for 16- to 19-year olds. They’re equivalent to three A-levels and are also backed by hundreds of British businesses, who helped to design the courses.

 

We will be starting Health T-level qualifications in September 2023. You can also apply now for a ‘Transition to T-Level’ course.

Options

T-levels are a good option even if a student only has a rough idea of the career or field they’re interested in. The study and industry placement aren’t linked to a specific individual role or job. Instead a student will be given a broad exposure to an industry and the many different roles it offers.

Going straight into employment is one option after completing a T-level and all students will have a head start on the skills they’ll need in the workplace.

Alternatively they could start an apprenticeship or higher level studies including university. One T-level is the equivalent of three A-levels, so has the same UCAS points value.

Transition

T-levels give young people a great headstart in the field they’d like to work in. Many will move to studying a T-level straight after their GCSEs.

Other young people may benefit from more time to get ready to study a T-level. The Transition Programme has been created for just this purpose.

Lasting a year, the T-level Transition Programme can give a student the relevant knowledge, practical and study skills they need to then begin the T-level course of their choosing.
