T Levels are aimed at 16-19 year-olds and are delivered by selected schools and colleges. They are a vocational equivalent of three A Levels and are usually taken after GCSEs.
T Levels are taught full time and include a placement in industry with up to two employers, for a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days).
Although students will complete their industry placement in an employment setting, they will not be an employee and are not require to be paid, though some employers choose to pay their students and/or offer them a supplementary bank role for paid employment.
For those interesting in working in health and care roles, there are a number of T Level courses available which will support the NHS including healthcare science and facilitites management. View the full list of T Levels and the occupations they can lead to on completion.
At the end of your first year of a T Level course, you must select a specialism to follow. This will focus your learning toward an occupation, such as physiotherapy or mental health nursing.
