T Levels are a brand new, two-year qualification that offer an alternative to A Levels, Apprenticeships, or vocational study programmes by way of a learning experience that mixes both classroom lessons and industry experience.
If you’re wondering whether or not a T Level is the right choice for you, read on.
Be Prepared for the Workplace
T Levels are a mix of 80% classroom learning and 20% workplace learning, meaning you get to learn all the theory behind your chosen specialism whilst putting your new skills to the test in a real life work environment. T Levels have been created alongside top employers and businesses, so by the end of your qualification, you can be sure that you’ve got the exact knowledge and skills that your dream employer is looking for.
As part of your course, you’ll complete a 45-day work placement in the real world of employment. This will enable you to try different job roles and explore your career options, all whilst building your contacts with employers who are relevant to your career aspirations.
T Levels are designed to get you ready for work or to prepare you to progress to higher education. Whatever your goals are; studying a T Level can help you to achieve them.
