What Are T Levels
What are T Levels?
T levels are a high-quality, work-focused alternative to A Levels for young people once they’ve completed their GCSEs.
They offer new routes to employment or further learning for young people looking to gain a head-start towards the career they want.
T Levels are a 2 year qualification choice that follow GCSEs.
The T Level qualification brings classroom and work placement together on a course designed with employers and businesses.

Where Will It Take Me?
Your T Level will support you to progress into an entry-level skilled job, a higher apprenticeship or on to further study, including at university.
Grading and certification
Students who complete their T Level will get a nationally recognised certificate which will show their overall grade and a breakdown of what they have achieved.
To help T Level students progress into higher education, UCAS tariff points will be allocated to
