T Levels are new two-year technical education courses for 16-18-year-olds. These free courses are for after you\u2019ve completed your GCSEs. If you have a good idea which career you\u2019d like to go into, and you want to learn the relevant technical skills for that career in a classroom, T Levels could be a good choice for you.<\/p>\n

What are T levels?<\/h2>\n

One T Level equals three A levels and takes two years to complete. T Levels are a full time programme of study for young people aged between 16 and 18. They\u2019re made up of practical tasks, projects and exams. The course includes a mixture of classroom and practical learning (this will make up 80% of your time) and \u201con the job\u201d experience in the form of an industry placement (this will make up 20%).<\/strong><\/p>\n

T Level courses have all been written with the help of employers, so you get the knowledge and skills that you need in the workplace. T Levels are designed to make sure you\u2019ll be ready to get a job when you qualify.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll learn core skills and knowledge as part of your T Level course, and you can then choose to specialise for a specific job. For example, you could study for a Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction T Level. During the course, you could choose to specialise in civil engineering, building services design, hazardous materials and surveying or surveying and design for construction and the built environment \u2013 whichever suits you best. This makes T Levels a flexible option for people looking to join a specific sector or industry but who aren\u2019t sure on exactly what job they\u2019d like yet.<\/p>\n

T Level Placements<\/h2>\n

Your industry placement is a vital and mandatory part of your T Level course. As part of your course, you\u2019ll need to do an industry placement lasting a minimum of 45 days. This also needs to be in an industry that\u2019s relevant to the subject you\u2019re studying. Your college or T Level provider will help you find a placement that\u2019s right for you and your course.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”\/t-level-placements\/” button_text=”Explore T Level placements across Greater Manchester” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_id=”solid-gradient-location” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#ffffff 15%|#fab833 15%” background_color_gradient_start=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_start_position=”15%” background_color_gradient_end=”#fab833″ background_color_gradient_end_position=”15%” custom_padding=”0px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”display: flex;||flex-wrap: wrap;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”200px||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”order: 2;||margin-top: 50px;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”order: 2;||margin-top: 50px;”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Is a T Level right for me?<\/h2>\n

T Levels can fast track your career \u2013 but you\u2019ll need to have a good sense of the industry that you want to work in. If you\u2019re thinking of doing A levels but you know what career you\u2019d like to go into, there might be a T Level that gets you closer to doing the job, or degree, you need.<\/p>\n

Unlike an apprenticeship, you won\u2019t get paid for doing a T Level. You might need to think about getting a part time job to support your studies.<\/p>\n

You must pass every assessment and exam to get your T Level qualification.<\/p>\n

T Levels give you UCAS points so you can apply for university or a degree apprenticeship or go straight into work. You\u2019ll be very busy if you take a T Level, so ideally, you\u2019ll already have your maths and English GCSEs, as studying for resits with your T Level workload will be hard. Some T Levels may also require Science GCSEs.<\/p>\n
