T Levels

Students will be graded for their Core Assessment: A* to E and U (ungraded) and Occupational Specialism Assessment method: Distinction, Merit, Pass and U (ungraded).

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

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.

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.

You could progress to:

• A skilled occupation
• Higher or degree-level apprenticeships
• Higher Education technical study options, including university subjects.
