The new T Level qualification is an alternative to A Levels for 16–19-year-olds and is equivalent to three A Levels
T Levels are new qualifications for school leavers, 16–19-year-olds, focusing on career roles and backed by the Government and British business.
T Levels are a 2-year qualification, an alternative level 3 option to A Levels and Apprenticeships. They offer the young person the option of a hybrid learning package of college study and real-life work placement experience. Each T Level includes a 45-day / 315 hours of work placement.
Upon successful completion the young person will achieve UCAS points (a T Level is the equivalent to 3 A Levels) enabling them to apply for university, apply for a higher apprenticeship or use the skills and behaviours gained to step into their future career.
City College Peterborough will be offering T Levels in, Education and Childcare (Assisting Teaching), and Management and Administration (Business Support) from September 2023.
When you have completed a T Level course, you will be able to choose between moving into:
The main classroom-based element part of a T Level is where students will learn about their chosen sectors understand and underpinning theory knowledge to apply in the workplace.
Get a hands-on experience lasting a minimum of 45 days and will provide students practical insights into their sector to support the theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom.
This is built into the classroom-based element and is there to ensure students have these transferable skills.
