    For students who want to progress to higher education, UCAS tariff points will also be allocated to the overall T Level grade.

  • How do T Levels work?

    T Levels consist of several essential elements:

    • An approved Technical Qualification (TQ) that provides technical knowledge and practical skills specific to a learner’s chosen industry or occupation.
    • ‘On-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 350 hours.
    • Functional skills in maths, English and digital at a minimum of Level 2, or GCSEs in English and maths.
    • transferable workplace skills.
    • Enrichment and tutorials.
  • What can I do after a T Level?

    T Levels can open up a wide range of progression opportunities for students to consider.

    Your T Level will be worth UCAS points, a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A Levels at A*, and will be recognised by universities and other education providers so you can choose to continue studying if you wish.
