T Level courses can be taken after your GSCEs as an alternative to A Level courses.
These 2-year courses offer a combination of classroom and workplace learning, designed with employers, to give you the skills that industries need. They are ideal if you want to get hands-on experience and learn skills that will get you a job in a technical profession, for example, engineering, science, accountancy, or media.
To succeed in your chosen T Level course, you must show technical knowledge, specific learned abilities, concepts, and skills for the industry area, and a basic working knowledge of the occupations and career paths in your chosen field.
All T Level courses include an on-the-job industry placement with an employer, with 315 hours (approximately 45 days) of content and training within your chosen sector, either as a day release or a block of days. Workplace learning focuses on developing the practical and technical skills you need.
