T Levels

T Levels are a relatively new type of qualification in the UK designed for high school students, equivalent to three A Levels. Introduced in 2020, these qualifications focus on vocational education and aim to prepare students for skilled employment, apprenticeships, or further study. Each T Level course lasts two years and combines classroom learning with an industry placement of at least 45 days. They cover various sectors, including digital, construction, education, and healthcare, providing practical skills and experience that align closely with industry needs. T Levels offer a rigorous alternative to traditional academic routes, bridging the gap between education and the workplace.
