T-Levels

T Levels are an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships and other 16 to 19 courses. Equivalent in size to 3 A levels, a T Level focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships. T Levels provide a mixture of:

• Technical knowledge and practical skills specific to the student’s chosen industry or occupation
• An industry placement of at least 45 days in their chosen industry or occupation. Watch this short government video to hear why students find completing industry placements so beneficial
• Relevant Maths, English and digital skills
• Common workplace skills

Students who achieve a T Level will get a nationally recognised certificate which employers will use as evidence in their recruitment. T Levels consist of around 80% of time spent in the classroom with the remaining 20% spent being on a valuable work placement in a relevant workplace, providing ‘on-the-job’ experience. Weymouth College can offer state of the art facilities to T Level students, including our new Tyneham Building for Health, Education & Early Years students, including a mock hospital ward and children’s nursery.
