Equivalent to 3 A Levels
A T Level focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships.
With T Levels and A Levels equally recognised by universities, employers and other organisations, the choice of which route to take is up to you.
For example, achieving a Distinction* in your T Level is equivalent to achieving three A*s at A Level – both worth a total of 168 UCAS Tariff points.
Health Students Get to Grips with Skills Within the NHS
Hear from Grace Shoubridge and Georgina Moore as they share their experience, having completed valuable work placements with the NHS as part of their T Level in Health.
Students Explore the Business Functions with the NHS
Izzy Davis and Lexi Hopkins completed work placements with the NHS as part of their T Level in Management and Administration.
They spoke to us about what they got up to and how the business functions help to support the wider organisation.
“During my work placements, I’ve been able to create activities for children, including a transport inspired playset. I’ve used it when working with children and they really enjoy it. I know that it works to help them develop, so it made sense to make it again in this year’s KFE4Skills competition, where I won a gold medal.”

T Level Education and Childcare
80% Classroom, 20% Workplace
You will spend 80% of your time in a learning environment, gaining the skills employers look for. The other 20% of the time, you will be involved in a meaningful industry placement, where you can put your skills into practice.
The placement is a fantastic opportunity to put into practice the things you have learnt, to further develop your skills and knowledge, and to try out a potential career path.
45-day Industry Placement
Take part in an in-depth industry placement that gives you valuable experience in the workplace.
Every T Level will include an industry placement with an employer, focused on developing the practical and technical skills required for your future. These will last a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days) but can last longer.
