"T Levels are exciting new level 3 qualifications for school leavers. They have been developed with vital input from employers, across the relevant sectors, and provide a minimum of 9-weeks working with an employer on an industry placement giving students a fantastic opportunity to leave college work-ready or to progress onto further study at university if they wish."

During the 2-year programme, students will learn the core knowledge and skills that are needed for entry to a range of occupations relevant to the T Level they take.
