We are very excited to be launching brand-new T Levels at the sixth form in Level 3 Healthcare Science and Business Management and Administration.
Check out this information from our teachers…
T Levels are industry-focused technical courses that combine classroom learning with real-world experience, ensuring you’re fully prepared for your chosen career path. They offer a unique blend of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and valuable work placements, providing you with a competitive edge in today’s job market.
Equivalent to 3 A Levels, these 2-year qualifications are designed specifically with employers to ensure you learn relevant and up-to-date practices from the industry sector that interests you the most.
They give you the same UCAS points as other Level 3 study programmes and support you to progress into a skilled job, a higher apprenticeship or on to further study, including university.
T Levels are great if you want to do something that is more practical, hands on and directly geared towards a specific field of employment.
Studying a T Level will help you to:
A T Level is for you if you enjoy learning through practical experience and real-life situations, and know in which industry you would like to have a career.
University, Further Education and Apprenticeships
After studying T Levels, many students may want to further their studies at University. A Distinction* (the top grade you can achieve) is worth 168 UCAS points, the equivalent of AAA* at A Level.
Another option is to continue your education in your chosen field by doing a higher level apprenticeship, which can teach you additional skills you may need and prepare you further for the world of work.
Getting a job after studying a T Level
If you don’t want to go to University or take on further study, T Levels can set you up perfectly for a job in your chosen field or industry. When you’re close to finishing your course, you will start looking around at what jobs are available.
A T Level in a relevant subject can give you a head start in your chosen industry. You might even be able to find a job with the company or employer who you work for when you do your placement! The world of work is your oyster!
T Levels offer you practical and knowledge-based learning as well as on-the-job training.
