What are T Levels?
T Levels are new 2-year, technical programmes designed with employers to give young people the skills that industry needs. From 2020, they will give students aged 16 to 18 a technical alternative to A levels and will help them to get a skilled job. T Levels will provide a mixture of:
- technical knowledge and practical skills specific to their chosen industry or occupation
- an industry placement of at least 45 days in their chosen industry or occupation
- relevant maths, English and digital skills
- common workplace skills
Students who achieve a T Level will get a certificate recognised nationally by employers which will set out what they have achieved as part of the programme.
T Levels will offer students a mixture of classroom or workshop-based learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience in the following industries:
- digital
- construction
- education and childcare
- engineering and manufacturing
- health and science
- legal, finance and accounting
- hair and beauty
- agriculture, environment and animal care
- business and administration
- catering and hospitality
- creative and design
Through doing a T Level, students will be able to:
- learn broad core knowledge and practical skills relevant to all occupations in their chosen industry from the beginning of their course
- develop specialist technical skills relevant to at least one occupation
Our students love being a part of NSCG and together we’re always sharing their college experiences and achievements for everyone to see, and more importantly, for you to see. Their world. Their freedom. Their joy. Their life. Their excitement. Make it yours. #MyNSCG
