What's in store for their future?

T Levels (years 10 and 11):

If your teen’s in Year 11, they’ll be thinking about what to do in sixth form, whether that’s staying at school or going to college. If they enjoy focusing on real-life situations rather than theory, then T Levels could be the right choice for them.

T Levels are a sixth form qualification developed with employers and businesses to meet industry needs as well as preparing students for working life. One T Level is equivalent to three A levels and the course lasts for two years. T Levels involve a mix of classroom learning (about 80% of the course time) and practical experience (about 20% of the course time) including a 45 day on-the-job placement in a genuine business. Afterwards, students may go on to university, alternative higher education, another job, an apprenticeship or they may be offered an opportunity with the company where they were placed.

T Levels can open many doors, so find out more about what your teen could study at T Level and where that could lead in The Parents’ Guide to T Levels.
