T Levels offer students a recognised technical qualification which is equivalent to three A levels and attracts the same number of UCAS points.

The combination of classroom learning (80%) and a 9-week industry placement (20%) creates a unique opportunity for students to study whilst gaining the knowledge and skills businesses need.
