T-Levels
T Levels are a two-year qualification, designed by leading businesses and employers to give you a head start towards your career!
They are an alternative to A levels, BTECs and apprenticeships and include a 45-day industry placement. They also carry the same number of UCAS points as three A levels, which means you could choose to progress on to university, into employment or on to a higher/degree apprenticeship.
