New technical based qualifications preparing students for work, further training or study
We will be delivering T Levels from September 2023 which offer students a mixture of classroom learning and an industry placement of 315 hours (45 days) where you will be fully integrated into the workplace.
Applicants for Level 3 courses will be accepted onto either a Level 3 course or a T Level dependent on grades. Applications for T Levels will be made available soon for those wishing to apply for a T level. If you would like to apply, please follow the links below.
T Levels are two-year technical programmes, designed with employers, to give young people the practical skills and knowledge that industries need. The ‘T’ stands for technical and they are an alternative to A-levels. One T Level is equivalent to 3 A-levels and will be assessed using a mixture of practical tasks, projects and exams.
Students who achieve a T Level will get a nationally recognised certificate which employers will use as evidence in their recruitment.
