Recommendation 13
13
Deferred
Paragraph: 57
Consider introducing micro-accreditation for T Level learners not completing the full programme
Conclusion
The Department must consider the case for micro-accreditation for T Level learners who for whatever reason do not complete their full programme of study. Allowing some form of credentialling for partially completed T Levels would encourage more learners to take them up and allow those who do drop out to gain recognised value from their experience.

If a student leaves their course early or does not pass all elements of their T Level, we want to make sure that they are recognised for the elements of a T Level they have achieved. Therefore, there are already arrangements in the programme which enable students to be recognised for their attainment. Statements of Achievement are issued to students which officially confirm which of the requirements a student has met. These Statements have value for students looking to enter employment or continue their studies. Additionally, for higher education, we have agreed with UCAS a tariff allocation for separate elements of the Technical Qualification: an allocation for students that have passed the Core and completed the Industry Placement, and an allocation for students that have passed the Occupational Specialism and completed the Industry Placement. This will be applicable to all students for confirmation and clearing from Summer 2023 onwards. This change will support students to access HE courses if they did not achieve the full programme.
