Elevate Wokingham - Qualifications

T Levels

 WHAT ARE T LEVELS? T Levels are a new qualification choice that follow GCSEs and give students a head start towards the career you want. They will suit students who wish to start working towards a skilled occupation, prefer a practical approach to learning and want a predominantly classroom-based course. Drawing on features of the world’s best technical education systems, these 2-year courses have been designed in partnership with employers to ensure students gain the knowledge, skills and experience businesses need so they are ready to get good jobs when they qualify.

WHAT DO T LEVELS INCLUDE? T Levels combine classroom learning, practical skills development and a substantial industry placement and will support progression into skilled employment, an apprenticeship or into further related study. Each T Level begins with core theory, concepts and skills relating to an industry or skill area and students will then be able to choose one or more occupational specialism(s).

There is a Student Activity Pack, which you can use if you are considering applying for a T-Level - the link for this can be found here: T-Level Student Activity Pack

How do you apply? Students need to apply directly to the provider, but please talk to a member of the Elevate Team first.

The T Level website www.tlevels.gov.uk/students/find has links to all providers offering T Levels starting in September 2022. The website will be updated as more T Levels are rolled out.
