Want to mix studying and hands-on experience? Find out about T-levels, a new type of qualification now available in England.

T-levels are a new type of technical qualification, designed for after your GCSEs. They've been developed alongside employers to make sure that what you learn meets the needs of industry and prepares you for work. Here's some key info to give you an idea of what to expect:

T-levels are two-year courses

They are equivalent to three A-levels

Your time is split: 80% classroom learning; 20% industry placement

Placements are at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days)

T-levels could help you get into skilled employment, further study or a higher apprenticeship.

And yes, you guessed it, the T stands for Technical!

Robert Halfon, Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education, told Bitesize that he thinks there are lots of benefits for students who choose to take T-levels:

With course content designed by over 200 employers including Fujitsu, EDF Energy and Lloyds Banking Group, young people can be confident that doing a T Level will give them the skills, knowledge and experience needed for a range of highly valued careers in fields like digital, construction, healthcare and engineering.

T-levels

80% classroom learning; 20% industry placement

Apprenticeships

80% on-the-job; 20% classroom learning

Having completed my first year, I can definitely say that the 80% theory and 20% practical is a perfect balance for me... each day is different, you get to meet new people and it enables you to figure out if you'd want to do that role on a full-time basis after education.
- Rares, T-level student

T-level courses for three subjects launched in autumn 2020 at selected schools, colleges and other providers in England. New subjects were added in 2021, 2022 and 2023, with more coming in 2024:

Agriculture, environmental and animal care
Agriculture, Land Management and Production

Business and administration
Management and Administration

Education and early years
Education and Early Years

Available from September 2024 onwards

Animal Care and Management

Catering (start date to be confirmed)

Craft and Design

Hairdressing, Barbering and Beauty Therapy

Media, Broadcast and Production

You can head over to the T-levels website and pop in your postcode to find providers in your area. You can also find a list of T-level providers on the gov.uk website.

The government's Minister for Skills, Further and Higher Education, Robert Halfon, explains the idea behind the creation of the qualification: "T Levels are designed to propel students into work, an apprenticeship or further study by providing a unique blend of study and workplace experience."

They're an option for people who feel that other paths - like going straight into full-time work or doing A-levels - might not be right for them.

Harry, a 2023 Health T-level student, has this to say about the experience: "I really enjoyed the practical side of the T Level, from ward days to placement... I was building on skills and continually having opportunities to develop to be the best I can."

T-levels combine the best of both worlds... they'll give the same [level of] academic qualification [as A-levels], but also that experience in real life work at the same time.
- Rose Rees, Head of Engagement and Skills at the Midland Metro Alliance, who offer industry placements for Construction T-levels

T-level grades are given as pass, merit, distinction or distinction.*

This grade is calculated from a "core" component (marked A* to E) and one or more "occupational specialism" components (marked pass, merit or distinction), combined to form your final grade.

When you pass your T-level, you're awarded with a nationally recognised certificate showing the overall grade you achieved along with details of what you learned on the course to help you move onto your next step.

Check out the guide below for how UCAS tariff points work for T-levels:

This really is going to be the new gold standard qualification for people entering employment... The T-level is perfectly designed to help you hit the ground running when you start work.
- Matt Reynolds, VP at Cirencester College

If you're interested in doing a T-level but think you might need a bit more time to prepare, there's the option of completing a 1-year post-GCSE T-level Transition Programme to help you get ready. The programme helps you develop your English, Maths, practical, technical and study skills, and includes work experience.

Learn more and see if T-levels could be the right path for you by heading to the T-levels website or gov.uk

Hear from 18-year-old Denzel, one of the first ever cohort of T-levels students to receive their results in August 2022, on BBC News
