HM Government Acknowledged
T Levels are at the centre of our reforms at Level 3. T Levels are high quality qualifications developed with over 250 leading businesses. They use the same employer-led standards as apprenticeships. The qualification includes a nine-week industry placement, giving students valuable exposure and experience in the world of work. This sets them apart from many existing vocational qualifications.
