T Levels offer a mixture of classroom learning and an industry placement of 315 hours (45 days), where you will be fully integrated into the workplace.

Applicants for Level 3 courses will be accepted onto either a Level 3 course or a T Level, dependent on grades. Please follow the links below to apply.

T Levels are two year technical programmes, designed with employers, to give young people the practical skills and knowledge that industries need.

The ‘T’ stands for technical and they are an alternative to A Levels. One T Level is the equivalent of three A Levels and they are assessed using a mixture of practical tasks, projects and exams. Learners achieving a T Level will get a nationally recognised certificate which employers will use as evidence in their recruitment.

We offer T Levels in:

  • Construction
  • Digital
  • Education and Early Years
  • Engineering and Manufacturing
  • Health and Science
  • Management and Administration
  • A T Level in Animal Care is available at our Dearne Valley Campus

Once a T Level is completed, learners will be able to progress onto:

  • A skilled occupation
  • Higher or degree level apprenticeships
  • Further study including Higher Technical Qualifications or Higher Education

T Level qualifications are a composite technical study programme, aimed at preparing young people for work, higher level apprenticeships or higher education (HE).

T Levels comprise of 3 key components:

  • An approved technical qualification (TQ),
  • A substantial industry placement with an external employer
  • Employability, enrichment and pastoral (EEP) elements

Studying a T Level means that learners will be able to develop core skills such as communication, team working, reflective practice, research methods and presentation skills. English, maths and digital content are embedded and contextualised within the qualification content.
