Learn more about T-Levels

What are T Levels?

T levels are a new qualification designed to give you a head start towards the future you want.

They follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels.

The two-year qualification brings classroom and work placement together, on a course designed with employers and businesses.

When did T Levels begin?

T levels were launched in September 2020 at selected colleges, with new subject areas being introduced for 2021.

How long does a T Level take?

Two years of full-time study.

Will T Levels be available in my area?

Career 6, part of the Grimsby Institute is one of the first places to offer T Levels in 2020 and the only outstanding provider in our area offering them.

What subjects can I study?

Career 6 will be providing T Level study in the following pathways:

Digital Production, Design & Development
Education & Childcare
Health
Maintenance Engineering Technology
Manufacturing Technologies
Onsite Construction.

In the coming years more subjects will be available. Find out more at https://www.tlevels.gov.uk/students.

How long is the industry placement?

An industry placement lasts around 45 days, undertaken as a block or as individual days. The specific length of the placement and when it will take place will differ depending on your T Level.

When can I apply?

You can apply now via our website.

Is this the right path for me?

T Levels are ideal if you have completed your GCSEs and want to get the knowledge and experience needed to get a skilled job.

Can I go to university after a T Level?

Yes, you can. T Levels get you work ready, but you can continue studying with a higher apprenticeship or degree.

Will they be recognised by employers?

T Levels are designed with businesses and employers, to make sure you have the skills and knowledge they are looking for in an employee.

What qualifications do I need to be able to study a T Level?

5 GCSEs at grades 4-9, including English and Maths. Entry is also available via a one-year, Level 2 T Level Transitional Programme which can be discussed on application.

How are T Levels different to apprenticeships?

T Levels give you the opportunity to experience an industry while you continue your studies, with the opportunity to specialise later. While gaining practical experience, you will also achieve the qualifications needed to move into a higher level of study, if you choose to later.

Apprenticeships are paid, work-based training for those who know what occupation they want to pursue.

Will there be any support for transport costs?

Our Learner Services Team are available to discuss help with funding to support industry placements which can be used to help with your travel costs.
