T Levels Explained

The Next Level Qualification 

What are T Levels?

Technical Levels, also known as ‘T Levels’, are a new two-year programme that will provide you with a high-quality, technical alternative to A Levels that are awarded UCAS points. Combining classroom learning with a 45-day industry placement they will set you on the path to a job or give you the option to choose another course for further study. From September 2021 we will be offering T Levels in Construction; Digital; Education & Childcare; and Health & Healthcare Science. 

From September 2022 the College will also be offering T Levels in a further five areas including Finance, Engineering and Manufacturing. These subject areas have been chosen not only to give you a wide variety of possible paths to amazing but also to align with the demand for skills that will be needed across Greater Manchester and the wider North West region in the coming years. This means that a T Level will equip you with the right skills for the right job.

A T Level is equivalent to three A Levels and is an opportunity to continue studying while gaining broader insight into what it is like to work in a certain sector, with the opportunity to specialise coming later. If you are moving on from your GCSE studies and want to develop your skills to obtain a qualification that is linked directly to a future career, then a T Level might be for you. T Levels are ideal for you if you would enjoy a practical approach to your studies, including a 3-month industry placement with an employer.
